Lioness's Lament enables

  • Drains a stat (Armor, Magic Resist, Attack Damage, Ability Power) from enemies and grants it to the source or an ally. Distinct from Shred and Sunder (one-way debuffs that only reduce the enemy stat) because the holder gains what the enemy loses.

Lioness's Lament benefits from

  • Grants the unit additional maximum HP — flat (`+150 Health`) or percentage (`+6% max Health`). Item HP, augment HP boosts, and ability bodies that read "Gain X max Health" all land here, including Cho'Gath's per-cast "permanently gain max Health". The cross-round permanent-stat angle has its own curated landing at `/permanent`.

Lioness's Lament scales with

  • The physical-defense stat that reduces incoming AD damage. Tank items, Bastion-style traits, and ability bodies that read "Gain X Armor" or "Your team gains X Armor" all land here, alongside the handful of cards that scale a bonus off the unit's Armor value.

Lioness's Lament counters

  • The physical-defense stat that reduces incoming AD damage. Tank items, Bastion-style traits, and ability bodies that read "Gain X Armor" or "Your team gains X Armor" all land here, alongside the handful of cards that scale a bonus off the unit's Armor value.

  • The magic-defense stat that reduces incoming AP damage. Many sustain items, Bastion-style frontline traits, and "Gain X Armor and Magic Resist" effects grant or scale off it; the inverse — Shred — reduces it.
