How Absorb Life works

Precision · Row 1

Absorb Life heals you whenever you kill a target.

  • It triggers on killing any target, including minions and monsters, so it provides steady sustain while farming.
  • Compared with Triumph, it pays out constantly in lane instead of only on champion takedowns.
  • Useful in lanes where you need to last without recalling but rarely secure champion kills early.
