How Sudden Impact works
Domination · Row 1Sudden Impact adds 20–80 true damage (by level) to your hits for 4s after a dash, leap, blink, teleport or leaving stealth; 10s cooldown.
- Both basic attacks and abilities can deliver the bonus, as long as they land within 4 seconds of the movement or stealth exit.
- Flash and other blink-type summoner spells count as a blink, so even immobile champions can trigger it after flashing in.
- Best on assassins and skirmishers with dashes or stealth in their kit, where it procs at the start of nearly every trade.
