Mana

Mana is the unit-level resource that gates ability casts.

Read moreShow less

A champion casts once its mana bar fills. So a low-mana unit casts more often than a high-mana one.

Three things push casts faster:

  • Spear of Shojin gives mana per attack.
  • Adaptive Helm amplifies Mana from all sources.
  • Augments that grant starting mana.

How mana works, played back in real time An animated chart of one champion's mana over time, playing on a loop. The line is drawn left to right at a fixed speed. Three attacks add 10 mana each, carrying it from 0 past the full mark of 25 up to 30, and the 5 above full splits off into its own block. At the cast the line drops to 0. It stays there for one real second, the mana lock, while a ring closes in the empty space and a bracket with ten tenth-of-a-second ticks sweeps out under the time axis. Nothing can come in across that second. The 5 above full lifts out of the bar at the cast, waits above the chart, and comes back down the moment the lock ends, so the bar jumps from 0 straight to 5 and the next fill starts from there. A second, longer bracket then finishes under the first one: the cast animation, which outlasts the lock and blocks every attack. The finished picture holds, then fades and the run restarts. 25 FULL 0 EMPTY MANA TIME +10 +10 +10 5 EXTRA 5 ARRIVES 5 WAITING HELD ABOVE THE BAR 5 CAST nothing can come in here MANA LOCK — ABOUT A SECOND CAST ANIMATION — NO ATTACKS LOCK LENGTH IS TUNED PER UNIT HOW MANA WORKS The mana lock holds the bar at 0 for about a second. Mana above full is kept, and arrives when the lock ends. The cast animation runs longer, and blocks every attack.
How mana works A chart of one champion's mana over time, drawn tall for a narrow screen. Three attacks add 10 mana each, carrying it from 0 past the full mark of 25 up to 30. The 5 mana above full is marked as a separate block. At the cast the line drops to 0 and stays there for about a second, the mana lock, and across that stretch there is nothing at all under the line, because nothing can come in. The 5 mana above full waits above the chart and comes down the moment the lock ends, so the bar jumps from 0 straight to 5, and the next fill starts from there. Under the time axis two spans start together at the cast: the mana lock, and a longer one for the cast animation, during which the unit cannot attack at all. 25 FULL 0 EMPTY MANA TIME +10 +10 +10 5 EXTRA 5 ARRIVES 5 WAITING HELD ABOVE THE BAR 5 CAST nothing comes in MANA LOCK — ABOUT A SECOND CAST ANIMATION — NO ATTACKS LOCK LENGTH IS TUNED PER UNIT HOW MANA WORKS The cast empties the bar, then the mana lock holds it at 0 for about a second. Mana above full is kept and arrives the moment the lock ends. The cast animation runs longer still, blocking every attack.
The across-axis is time at one fixed speed throughout, so the lock really does take a second to play. Lock length is tuned per unit, and the cast animation that outlasts it is a community measurement.
