How Cut Down works

Precision · Row 3

Cut Down makes you deal 8% more damage to champions above 60% health.

  • The bonus applies while the target is above 60% health, so it boosts the opening part of every fight.
  • It is strongest against high-health tanks and bruisers, who stay above the threshold for longer.
  • Pick it over Coup de Grace when you engage first or face a team with several durable frontliners.
