How Conditioning works

Resolve · Row 2

Conditioning grants 8 armor and 8 magic resist after 12 minutes, and increases your armor and magic resist by 3%.

  • Nothing happens before 12 minutes, so the rune does not help the laning phase.
  • The 3% increase applies to your total resistances, so it grows as you build armor and magic resist items.
  • A good choice for tanks who expect long games and stack resistances.
