How Overgrowth works

Resolve · Row 3

Overgrowth permanently grants 3 max health for every 8 monsters or enemy minions that die near you, plus 3.5% max health after 120.

  • Units only need to die near you, so you collect essence even when you do not last-hit them yourself.
  • The 3.5% max health bonus after 120 units is the main payoff, so it rewards spending time near minion waves.
  • Fits health-scaling tanks and laners who stay in lane for long stretches.
