How Scorch works
Sorcery · Row 3Scorch: your next damaging ability hit sets champions on fire for 20–40 bonus magic damage (by level) after 1s; 10s cooldown.
- The damage lands 1 second after the hit, so it adds a delayed tick rather than instant burst.
- With a 10 second cooldown, it triggers often in lanes where you poke with abilities.
- Strongest in the early game, which makes it a common choice for lane bullies.
