Our take
Part of its Armor moves into 30 Magic Resist and Ability Haste drops by 5, for 200 gold less.
Radiant Virtue
Patch 7.0aGuiding Light
- Healing per second3% of max HP → 2.5%
Our take
Losing 0.5% of max HP per second cuts the total damage the effect can absorb while it runs. Because it scales off max HP, champions stacking health lose the most in absolute terms, so durability-focused builds feel it hardest. Fights that used to be held by activating it and standing firm can now simply be lost, which argues for pressing it a beat earlier than before.
Radiant Virtue
Patch 6.3cGuiding Light
- Self Max HP increase12.5% → 10%
Our take
The user gains 2.5% less health on activation, so the moment right after engaging is less forgiving. The effect still does its job, but dives that counted on the extra health bar to survive the opening burst now fall short more often. The item only arrived in 6.3, and it is the self-buff portion that gets trimmed first. It is still bought for durability; what changed is how far you can trust it as a green light to dive.
Radiant Virtue
Patch 6.3New Item
- Price: 2850 gold
- Max HP: +300
- AR: +45
- Ability Haste: +15
- A front-line item that pairs health and armor with a slice of Ability Haste. The haste is what separates it from a pure defensive buy: it suits champions who want to keep re-casting engage or protection tools rather than only soaking damage. Note that 6.3c later trimmed the self Max HP gain on Guiding Light, so it is a little tamer than it was at release.
