  • Execute

    Instantly kills a target whose Health is below a threshold (typically a % of max Health). Resolves as true damage equal to the target's current Health, so it ignores Armor, Magic Resist, Durability, and damage reduction. Unlike ordinary true damage, an execute destroys any active Shield before applying its kill — a shielded unit at low HP is still executed once the threshold check passes; the Shield does not save it.

  • 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.
