How Demolish works

Resolve · Row 1

Demolish makes your third attack against a tower deal 85 (+28% max health) bonus physical damage, or 50 (+20% max health) for ranged; 30s cooldown.

  • The bonus scales with your maximum health, so health-stacking champions take towers down much faster.
  • Ranged champions get a weaker version, so the rune is mainly a melee tool.
  • Strong for split pushers and lanes that win by taking turret plates early.
