Evolved Embershot enables

  • Burn

    Deals % maximum-Health true damage over time. Stacks with Wound to define the canonical anti-tank package.

  • Wound

    Reduces healing the target receives for a duration.

  • True Damage

    Damage that bypasses Armor, Magic Resist, and Shield. The damage number on the source is applied directly to current Health.

  • Heal

    Restores Health to a unit, capped at maximum HP.

  • Mana

    The unit-level resource that gates ability casts. Mana-gen items, on-cast refunds, and starting-mana augments all key off this mechanic.

Evolved Embershot scales with

  • Ability Power

    Scales with Ability Power. Damage and effect magnitudes that read "(scales with AP)" target this mechanic.

Evolved Embershot counters

  • Max Health

    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`.
