Dark Star enables

  • Ability Power

    Scales with Ability Power (AP). Champions and effects flagged as AP-scaling get bigger damage, healing, or shield values when the holder stacks AP from items like Jeweled Gauntlet, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Nashor's Tooth, or from trait bonuses.

Dark Star counters

  • 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. For the cross-round permanent stat-stacks angle specifically, see the dedicated permanent stat-stacks page.
