Redemption

What is Redemption? 🌟

Redemption is a legendary Support item in League of Legends, categorized under Ability Power, Heal & Shield Power, and Mana & Regeneration. It is the primary global-range active healing item in the support item pool — its INTERVENTION active can be cast from anywhere on the map, providing both a heal to allies and percentage-HP true damage to enemies at the target location.

The item’s design positions it as a teamfight-decisive tool rather than a sustained healing source. A single well-timed INTERVENTION during a major objective or Baron/Drake teamfight heals the entire allied cluster for up to 350 HP at high champion levels while simultaneously dealing 10% max HP true damage to grouped enemies — a dual-purpose active that can swing fight outcomes entirely.

At 2,250 Gold, Redemption is one of the most gold-efficient support items in the game. The +10% Heal and Shield Power amplifies both the INTERVENTION healing and all other healing/shielding abilities the support casts. Sell price: 1,575 Gold. ID: 3107.

⚡ Active Mechanic: INTERVENTION

INTERVENTION calls a 550-radius beam of light to strike a target location after a 2.5-second delay. Upon landing:

  • Ally champions in the area: healed for 150–350 HP based on target’s level — lower level champions receive less, higher level champions receive up to 350 HP
  • Enemy champions in the area: take 10% of their maximum health as true damage — percentage-based and unavoidable once the beam lands

💡 Can Be Used While Dead — The Most Unique InteractionINTERVENTION can be activated during the respawn timer while dead.This allows supports to contribute to an ongoing teamfight even after dying — cast INTERVENTION on the grouped allies or objectives the moment you die.The 2.5-second delay means casting immediately on death can land while your teammates are still alive in the fight.Positioning: before dying, identify where your team will be fighting. Cast INTERVENTION there the moment you go down.Buying Redemption while dead disables INTERVENTION until respawn — don’t upgrade/purchase during a critical fight window while dead.

ModeHealthHeal/Shield PowerINTERVENTION Damage
SR 5v5N/A+10%10% max HP true damage
ARAMN/A+10%10% max HP true damage (standard)
Arena+300 HP+16%15% max HP true damage
Swiftplay+400 HP+10%10% max HP true damage

Arena significantly buffs Redemption: Heal and Shield Power increases from 10% to 16%, and INTERVENTION’s enemy damage increases from 10% to 15% max HP true damage. Arena also adds +300 Health as a new stat. The 15% max HP true damage in Arena turns INTERVENTION into a substantial HP-removing tool against high-HP compositions — 15% on a 4,000 HP target is 600 true damage on a 90-second cooldown active.

🎯 Best Champions for Redemption

Redemption is an enchanter and support-specialist item — designed for champions who prioritize team healing, shielding, and enabling over personal damage or tank stats. The +10% Heal and Shield Power amplifies every healing and shielding ability in a support’s kit, and INTERVENTION provides global-range impact during teamfights regardless of where the support is positioned.

✅ Ideal Picks

  • Soraka — Her kit revolves around sustained healing — every Starcall (Q) heal, Astral Infusion (W) heal, and Wish (R) global heal is amplified by the 10% Heal and Shield Power. INTERVENTION adds a second active healing tool to complement her passive sustain, and can be cast during the respawn timer to heal allies while she’s dead (complementing Wish’s global healing identity).
  • Lulu — Wild Growth (R) is a shield and a heal — both amplified by Heal and Shield Power. Her frequent Whimsy (W) buffs and Glitterlance (Q) poke make the ability haste particularly valuable for more frequent shield applications.
  • Nami — Her Ebb and Flow (W) bounces heals between ally and enemy simultaneously. Every healing tick is amplified by the 10% modifier. INTERVENTION adds a second grouped heal option for teamfights.
  • Janna — Monsoon (R) is a continuous channel heal — every tick amplified by Heal and Shield Power. Eye of the Storm (E) shield value scales with the 10% modifier. INTERVENTION’s 5500-range cast allows her to intervene in fights she can’t physically reach.
  • Renata Glasc — Her supportive kit generates multiple healing-adjacent interactions. INTERVENTION’s true damage contribution in teamfights adds a damage dimension that supports who typically deal zero damage can leverage.
  • Seraphine — Her High Note (Q) and Beat Drop (W) scale with AP while her Encore (R) extends support utility. The mana regeneration from Redemption sustains her ability-heavy mana costs, and the 10% Heal and Shield Power amplifies her shield from Stage Presence (P) passive.
  • Karma — Inspire (E) mantra shield scales with AP and benefits from Heal and Shield Power. Her ability haste synergy with Redemption allows more frequent Mantra applications. The mana regen covers her AP-cost-heavy build patterns.

❌ Suboptimal Picks

  • Engage supports (Nautilus, Leona, Blitzcrank): These champions deal damage and CC rather than heal or shield. The +30 AP contributes minimal damage for tanks, and the Heal and Shield Power provides near-zero value for champions with no significant heals or shields in their kit. Tank support items (Sunfire Aegis-style, Heartsteel) provide more relevant stats for the same role.
  • Damage carries: 30 AP is weak for damage-focused champions, and Heal and Shield Power is an entirely useless stat without heal/shield abilities to amplify. Any other AP item provides better damage efficiency.

Support AP Aggressive Build (Seraphine / Karma)

  1. Shurelya’s Battlesong — First item — playmaking engage or disengage active for proactive support
  2. Redemption — Second item — mana regen sustains AP-heavy ability patterns; INTERVENTION provides global impact during active play
  3. Imperial Mandate — Third item — mark-and-slow passive amplifies follow-up damage from carry partners
  4. Shadowflame — Fourth item — AP burst amplification for aggressive damage-support builds with high AP casters
  5. Situational fifth — Zhonya’s Hourglass vs burst, Rabadon’s Deathcap vs scaling compositions
💡 Pro Tip — INTERVENTION Timing in TeamfightsThe 2.5-second delay means INTERVENTION should be cast BEFORE the teamfight fully engages — not reactively.Cast on the location where you expect the fight to occur: Baron pit, Dragon pit, narrow jungle chokes.Against dive compositions: cast on your ADC the moment enemies commit to a dive — the beam lands 2.5 seconds after the dive begins.Used while dead: cast IMMEDIATELY when you die on the location where your team is fighting — the 2.5s delay means the beam can still land during the fight window.The 12-second Intervention reduction timer means only one Redemption per allied cluster is effective in rapid succession — coordinate with teammates who also hold Redemption.

❌ Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

  • Casting INTERVENTION reactively instead of proactively: The 2.5-second delay means casting after a fight starts is usually too late — the damage has already landed and allies are dead before the beam arrives. Identify fight locations in advance and pre-cast on entry chokepoints, objective pits, or before enemy engagement abilities land.
  • Not using it while dead: INTERVENTION can be used while dead — this is one of the most unique and impactful aspects of the item. Supports who die early in teamfights should cast INTERVENTION on their team immediately — the 2.5-second delay often still lands while the fight is ongoing.
  • Buying Redemption while dead during a critical window: Purchasing Redemption while dead disables INTERVENTION until respawn. If you already hold the item and die, casting INTERVENTION first before interacting with the shop is essential. Don’t purchase upgrades or other items accidentally disabling the active during a live fight.
  • Ignoring the 12-second reduction penalty for multiple Interventions: If a second Redemption is used on the same group within 12 seconds of the first, its effects are reduced by 50%. In coordinated five-man support builds, stagger INTERVENTION uses to avoid the reduction window — don’t both cast on the same cluster simultaneously.
  • Forgetting INTERVENTION breaks stealth: Casting INTERVENTION while in stealth (Twitch, Shaco, etc.) reveals the caster. In situations where stealth maintenance is critical, delay the cast until stealth is already broken by other means.
  • Undervaluing the 10% max HP true damage: Many supports treat INTERVENTION as purely a heal. The enemy damage component — 10% max HP true damage (15% in Arena) — is a meaningful damage source against high-HP targets. Against a 5,000 HP Malphite, INTERVENTION deals 500 true damage in an AoE. Use it aggressively on grouped enemies, not just defensively on your team.

✅ Best Practices

  • Pre-cast INTERVENTION: identify the fight location before engagement and cast 2.5 seconds early — Baron pit, Dragon pit, lane chokepoints where the fight will be centered
  • Use immediately on death — cast INTERVENTION the moment you die on your team’s position; the 2.5s delay frequently still lands during the active fight
  • Stack with other Heal and Shield Power items: Staff of Flowing Water, Ardent Censer, and Dawncore compound the 10% modifier — every stacked item increases all healing proportionally
  • In Arena: 15% max HP true damage on a 90-second cooldown is a significant burst tool in the confined combat format — prioritize casting it offensively on grouped enemies rather than defensively
  • Coordinate INTERVENTION timing with teammates who also hold Redemption — stagger casts 12+ seconds apart to avoid the 50% reduction penalty on overlapping usage
  • On Soraka: INTERVENTION’s global range complements her Wish (R) global heal — together they provide two independent global teamfight impact tools that can both activate from dead or far away

FAQ

Q: Can INTERVENTION really be used while dead?

A: A: Yes. INTERVENTION explicitly states it ‘can be used while dead.’ This is not a bug — it’s an intentional game design choice that gives supports global impact during their respawn timer. The moment you die, cast INTERVENTION on your team’s cluster. The 2.5-second delay means it can land during the ongoing fight. Note: if you BUY Redemption while dead, INTERVENTION is disabled until you respawn.

Q: Does INTERVENTION trigger spell effects?

A: A: Yes. INTERVENTION deals area damage and explicitly triggers spell effects. Items like Luden’s Companion and runes like Summon Aery interact with INTERVENTION’s cast — Luden’s Companion and Summon Aery prioritize targets based on proximity to the center of the beam. This makes Redemption synergize with spell-effect-dependent builds in ways that basic attack-based items don’t.

Q: Is INTERVENTION’s 10% max HP damage affected by the target’s resistances?

A: A: No. The damage is TRUE damage — it bypasses armor and magic resistance entirely. 10% max HP true damage is 10% regardless of how much armor or MR the target has built. This is why INTERVENTION is particularly valuable against high-HP tank compositions — their defensive stats provide no mitigation against the beam’s damage.

Q: How does the 12-second Intervention reduction work in practice?

A: A: If a target was already affected by another Intervention in the last 12 seconds, the second Intervention’s effects (both the heal and the damage) are reduced by 50%. This applies to the target individually — different targets in the AoE who weren’t affected by the first Intervention receive full effects. For teams where multiple players hold Redemption, stagger casts by at least 12 seconds to ensure full effectiveness.

Q: Does Heal and Shield Power affect the INTERVENTION heal?

A: A: Yes. The +10% Heal and Shield Power on Redemption itself amplifies INTERVENTION’s ally heal, and additional Heal and Shield Power from other items further increases it. At 30% total Heal and Shield Power, the maximum 350 HP heal becomes 455 HP. Stacking Heal and Shield Power items makes INTERVENTION’s healing increasingly powerful.

Q: Is Redemption worth building on non-support champions?

A: A: In most cases, no. The +30 AP is below average for AP damage dealers, and Heal and Shield Power is a near-useless stat without significant heals or shields in the champion’s kit. The INTERVENTION active provides value regardless of champion, but support-specific items with higher AP and damage passives outperform Redemption for non-support roles.

Q: How large is the 550-radius heal area?

A: A: The 550-radius area is notably generous — it’s roughly comparable to the capture radius of an objective point and covers a substantial portion of a standard narrow jungle corridor. In tight chokepoints (Dragon pit, Baron pit, jungle pathways), all five champions can frequently be within the 550-radius simultaneously, maximizing the multi-target heal value.
