emblem

Recipe

Grants trait

  • Challenger 
    Your team gains 10% Attack Speed. Challengers gain bonus Attack Speed. When their target dies, Challengers dash to a new target and increase their Attack Speed bonus by 50% for 2.5 seconds.

Challenger Emblem enables

  • Heal

    Restores Health to a unit, capped at maximum HP.

  • On Takedown

    Effect fires when a unit secures a kill or assist. In Set 17, Kai'Sa's passive "On takedown, gain 10 mana" is a clean example, and Seeker's Armguard stacks +20 Armor / MR / AP per takedown.

  • Dash

    Repositioning movement that breaks normal movement — either a telegraphed dash across hexes or an instant blink/teleport to a new position. In Set 17, the Challenger trait dashes its champions to a new target when their current one dies, and several abilities blink or teleport behind enemies for setup or escape.

  • Attack Speed

    Bonus Attack Speed makes a unit attack more often per second, which means more auto-attack damage and faster mana generation toward the next ability cast. Some carries scale beyond that — their ability itself fires more hits when they have more Attack Speed (e.g., Bel'Veth's slash count, Jinx's rocket count). Stacking AS items and traits on these units compounds: faster autos, faster casts, and bigger casts.

Challenger Emblem scales with

  • Max Health

    Grants the unit additional maximum HP, either flat (like +150 Health) or percentage (like +6% max Health). It comes up whenever you stack Giant's Belt items, pick health-boost augments such as Yasuo's Golden Hex or Giant and Mighty, or play Cho'Gath, whose cast permanently raises his own max Health every time he eats an enemy.
