Permanent Takedown Stacks

A stat that ratchets up round after round instead of resetting when the fight ends. The usual trigger is a takedown — the carrier banks a stack on every kill or assist and keeps it, so early-round farming compounds into late-game power — but the trigger is not always a takedown you made. Old Growth pays out whenever any enemy dies within three hexes of it, handing your strongest Old Growth champion 30 permanent max Health each time, and Veigar banks Ability Power when the enemy it hit dies. What every source here shares is the persistence, not the kill: the stack survives the round, which is what separates it from in-combat stacking that starts again from zero every fight.
