- AR+35 → +30
Our take
Also part of the tier 3 boot pass. Five less armor makes it a slightly thinner answer to physical damage.
Armored Advance
Patch 7.2Base Stats
- Cost: 2200g
- Recipe: Plated Steelcaps (1200g) + 1000g
- Max HP: +150
- AR: +35
Block
- Reduces damage taken from champion basic attacks by 10%.
Noxian Endurance
- Taking physical damage from a champion grants a physical shield worth 20-140 (scaling with champion level) + 5% of your max HP. (12s cooldown)
- Block rises from 6% at tier 2 to 10%, thickening your resistance to marksmen and fighters who work through basic attacks. Noxian Endurance refreshes every 12s, so the total absorbed keeps climbing the longer you hold the front. With AR and max HP going up alongside it, this is the straightforward late-game upgrade against a physical-damage composition — just remember it does almost nothing against magic damage.
