How Cash Back works

Inspiration · Row 1

Cash Back returns 7.5% of the gold you spend when you purchase Legendary items.

  • Only Legendary item purchases give gold back, so components and starter items do not trigger it.
  • The refund adds up over a full build, effectively making each later Legendary item arrive a little sooner.
  • A low-maintenance choice for champions who expect to complete several Legendary items.
