Endless Hunger

What is Endless Hunger? đŸ”„

Endless Hunger is the dedicated snowball fighter item for melee AD champions who need tenacity, meaningful ability haste that scales with their damage, and a reward for finishing fights. Unlike flat stat items, Endless Hunger provides a dynamic ability haste value through FAMINE — the more bonus AD you build, the more haste you get from a single item purchase. At high AD values this passive meaningfully shortens cooldowns well beyond the base 5 AH, functioning as a scaling CDR source rather than a fixed stat.

The FEAST passive is where Endless Hunger earns its name. Scoring a takedown within 3 seconds of last damaging a champion converts into a 15% omnivamp burst for 8 seconds — meaning the next 8 seconds of your combat (autos, abilities, all damage sources) heals you for 15% of the damage dealt. In the middle of a fight where multiple enemies are present, chaining a kill into the FEAST window against the next target creates a self-sustaining combat pattern that rewards aggressive, take-first-kill-then-fight play.

The +20% tenacity on the base stat line is the third pillar of Endless Hunger’s identity. Tenacity reduces the duration of crowd control effects — slows, stuns, roots, silences — by 20%. For melee champions who need to stay in range of targets and close on kiting carries, tenacity directly translates into more uptime in melee range. Combined with the FEAST heal window post-kill, the item is explicitly designed to keep fighters in fights longer and reward kills with the ability to continue fighting.

FAMINE — Scaling AH CalculationBase formula: 5 + (10% × bonus AD) = total ability haste from FAMINE.Example at 65 bonus AD (Endless Hunger alone): 5 + (10% × 65) = 5 + 6.5 = 11.5 AH → rounds to ~11–12 AH.Example at 150 bonus AD (2-item AD build): 5 + (10% × 150) = 5 + 15 = 20 AH from FAMINE alone — equivalent to a dedicated ability haste item.Example at 250 bonus AD (full AD build, 5–6 items): 5 + (10% × 250) = 5 + 25 = 30 AH from a single passive — approaching the AH contribution of dedicated haste items at no stat cost.Key insight: FAMINE makes every additional AD item in your build also reduce cooldowns. For champions building 3–5 AD items, FAMINE effectively provides 20–30 AH late game from the interaction with accumulated bonus AD. This makes Endless Hunger increasingly efficient as a build progresses, not just at purchase.

FEAST — 8-Second Omnivamp Window MathDuring the 8-second FEAST window, total omnivamp = 5% (base from item) + 15% (FEAST) = 20% omnivamp total.Healing per 1,000 damage dealt during FEAST: 20% × 1,000 = 200 HP healed across 8 seconds of combat. Against a bruiser target absorbing 2,000 total damage from you in 8 seconds, FEAST heals 400 HP — comparable to a large heal ability.Outside FEAST window: 5% omnivamp heals 50 HP per 1,000 damage — meaningful sustained healing in long fights without being a primary sustain source.FEAST chaining: If you score a second takedown within 3 seconds of damaging the second target while FEAST is active, the timer refreshes to another 8 seconds. In teamfights where kills chain quickly, FEAST can maintain near-continuous 20% omnivamp across multiple enemies — which is the snowball scenario Endless Hunger is built to create.

🔑 Caulfield’s Warhammer First-Back Priority: Completing Caulfield’s Warhammer (1,050g) on the first meaningful back provides +20 AD and +15 AH before the full item is finished — making it the strongest mid-build stopping point in the recipe. The AH helps shorten key ability cooldowns during the laning phase, and the AD contributes to auto-attack and ability trading. For champions fighting for lane dominance, this component timing matters.

⚡ Passive Mechanics — FAMINE & FEAST

FAMINE — Scaling Ability Haste from Bonus AD

FAMINE provides a base 5 ability haste that scales upward as you accumulate bonus AD from any source — items, runes, buffs. The scaling formula is 5 + (10% × bonus AD), meaning every 10 bonus AD adds 1 additional AH. This makes FAMINE fundamentally different from fixed AH stats: rather than a flat cooldown reduction that becomes proportionally less valuable as you add more AH items, FAMINE grows alongside your AD itemisation, ensuring the ability haste contribution from Endless Hunger remains meaningful throughout every phase of the game.

The practical implication: on a champion building four or five AD items, FAMINE at peak bonus AD (250+) contributes approximately 30 AH — the equivalent of a dedicated ability haste item like Caulfield’s Warhammer in haste alone, without spending an additional item slot. This late-game scaling is what makes Endless Hunger particularly efficient as a first or second item that grows into a mid-to-late game powerhouse.

FEAST — Kill-Reward Omnivamp Burst

UNIQUE – FEAST: Scoring a takedown against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of last damaging them grants +15% omnivamp for 8 seconds. Combined with the item’s base +5% omnivamp, total omnivamp during FEAST = 20%.

Understanding the 3-second damage window:

  • You must deal damage within 3 seconds before the takedown triggers FEAST. If you last hit an enemy with a damage instance more than 3 seconds before they die (from ally damage, DoT, etc.), FEAST does not activate — you need to be the last damager within the window, not just the kill credit holder.
  • The 3-second window is a recency requirement, not a kill-credit requirement. Assists can trigger FEAST if you dealt damage within 3 seconds of the takedown — you don’t need the killing blow. A Darius ult from an ally that kills the target while you auto-attacked them 2 seconds prior still activates FEAST.
  • 8 seconds of 20% total omnivamp is a combat-length window. Most 1v1 fights and skirmishes resolve within 5–10 seconds. FEAST effectively covers the entire next engagement after a kill — every auto-attack, every ability, every tick of DoT heals for 20% of damage in that window.
  • FEAST refreshes on chain takedowns. A second takedown within 3 seconds of damaging the second target resets the 8-second window. In teamfights with multiple kills, FEAST can maintain near-continuous 20% omnivamp — turning a fight-winning kill chain into a full HP recovery simultaneously.

đŸ©ž Omnivamp — What It Is and Why It Matters Here

Omnivamp heals for a percentage of all damage dealt — physical, magic, and true damage, from abilities and basic attacks alike. Unlike life steal (autos only) or spell vamp (abilities only), omnivamp covers every damage source simultaneously. For fighter champions whose damage output is a mix of ability damage and auto-attacks across a rotation, omnivamp is the most comprehensive sustain stat available.

Endless Hunger’s 5% base omnivamp is modest but continuous — it generates a small heal on every damage instance in every fight, functioning as a passive HP attrition recovery tool during extended engagements. This baseline omnivamp is why Endless Hunger champions feel more durable in sustained fights than raw stat comparisons suggest.

The FEAST 15% omnivamp burst is where the sustain becomes game-deciding. In teamfights where 20% of your AoE damage heals you — Darius Hemorrhage ticking on five enemies, Nasus Q into clustered targets, Tryndamere auto-attack crits during FEAST — the healing per second can exceed what healing abilities provide. Champions with AoE damage patterns extract dramatically more value from FEAST than single-target fighters.

đŸ›Ąïž Tenacity — Why +20% Matters for Melee Fighters

+20% tenacity reduces the effective duration of all crowd control effects — stuns, slows, roots, silences, knockups, fears — by 20%. For melee fighters who need to maintain proximity to ranged carries or kiting enemies, every fraction of a second freed from CC is additional time dealing damage and generating FEAST windows.

CC EffectEffect with +20% Tenacity
1-second stunReduced to 0.8 seconds — 0.2s more aggression time
2-second rootReduced to 1.6 seconds — 0.4s more repositioning freedom
40% slow (2 seconds)Slow reduced to 32% effective — meaningfully faster movement
3-second silenceReduced to 2.4 seconds — 0.6s earlier ability access

Tenacity stacks multiplicatively with other tenacity sources (Mercury’s Treads, Unflinching rune, Legends: Tenacity rune). The combined tenacity from multiple sources reaches diminishing returns at high values, but Endless Hunger’s 20% represents a meaningful standalone reduction that pairs well with any melee champion who regularly fights through CC-heavy compositions.

🎯 When to Build Endless Hunger

Build Endless Hunger When:

  • Playing a snowball-oriented melee fighter who rewards securing kills: Champions whose power scales with kills and consecutive fight engagement — Darius (Noxian Guillotine reset pattern), Tryndamere (Undying Rage + extended melee), Olaf (Ragnarok sustain diving) — extract maximum value from FEAST’s 8-second omnivamp window by chaining kills into recovery.
  • Facing CC-heavy enemy compositions: The +20% tenacity base makes Endless Hunger the dedicated answer to comps with multiple crowd control sources. Against a lineup of Morgana root, Lissandra stasis, and Leona stun chains, reducing each CC effect by 20% meaningfully increases the time you spend moving and dealing damage versus standing still.
  • Building multiple AD items (3+) to maximise FAMINE scaling: FAMINE’s value compounds with additional AD purchases. If your build naturally reaches 200+ bonus AD across 4–5 items, FAMINE contributes 25+ AH from a single item’s passive — making Endless Hunger increasingly efficient as an AH source the further the build progresses.
  • Wanting sustained healing in extended fights without dedicating a full slot to a healing item: The 5% base omnivamp provides continuous recovery across every fight without activation requirements. For champions who fight in extended skirmishes (split-push duels, 2v2 combat in the side lane), this sustained sustain differentiates Endless Hunger from flat stat alternatives.
  • Needing ability haste that grows automatically as the build completes: Rather than buying a dedicated AH item at every stage, FAMINE self-corrects throughout the build. As you purchase AD items for their primary stat, FAMINE simultaneously increases without an additional item slot investment.

Do NOT Build Endless Hunger When:

  • Playing ranged carries or AP champions: The item’s stat line (AD + omnivamp + tenacity) targets melee fighter builds explicitly. Ranged ADCs have better AD + sustain options in their itemisation path, and AP champions gain nothing meaningful from the AD-scaling FAMINE passive.
  • The enemy team has minimal crowd control: If no one in the opposing composition uses meaningful CC, the +20% tenacity stat is wasted. Against AD-heavy dive comps with few CC abilities, armour-focused fighter items (Sterak’s Gage, Death’s Dance) provide more relevant defensive value.
  • Your playstyle is defensive or utility-oriented: FEAST rewards aggression and kill participation within 3 seconds of dealing damage. A player who plays conservatively, takes trades slowly, or functions as a peel-oriented support fighter loses access to the majority of Endless Hunger’s value propositions.
  • You need early item power rather than late-game scaling: FAMINE’s scaling rewards a full AD build. If you need a strong item at 1–2 items for an early fight window, consider Sundered Sky or Eclipse for better standalone power spikes before the build completes.

đŸ‘„ Best Champions for Endless Hunger

Optimal — Melee Snowball Fighters

  • Darius: Noxian Guillotine resets on kills; each kill extends the FEAST window immediately into the next target. Darius’s Hemorrhage DoT generates omnivamp healing from FEAST during the full bleed duration. FAMINE scales with his naturally high bonus AD from Hemorrhage stacks and item AD. One of the best FEAST chain scenarios in the game.
  • Tryndamere: Undying Rage (R) makes him unkillable for 5 seconds — combined with FEAST’s 8-second omnivamp window after a kill, Tryndamere R → kill → FEAST creates an unkillable-then-healing loop. FAMINE’s AH scaling with his high crit/AD build lowers his Q Bloodlust and E cooldowns.
  • Olaf: Ragnarok (R) makes him immune to CC — but the fights before and after R where tenacity from Endless Hunger reduces incoming CC directly extend his effective uptime in melee range. FEAST’s omnivamp supplements his base sustain from Vicious Strikes (W) without replacing it.
  • Garen: Justice Punch into Decisive Strike into Judgment generates rapid damage pulses — FEAST heals across every Judgment spin tick during the window. Tenacity stacks well with his naturally durable kit. FAMINE’s AH reduces Decisive Strike and Judgment cooldowns as his build-out AD accumulates.
  • Nasus: Fury of the Sands (R) scales with HP and survivability; FEAST’s 20% omnivamp during R uptime while attacking multiple targets heals significantly on Wither-slowed targets. FAMINE’s scaling with his typically high bonus AD from Q stacks and items provides meaningful late-game AH. Tenacity reduces Wither’s effectiveness against him from enemy casts.
  • Fiora: Duelist’s Dance (P) and Grand Challenge (R) generate healing already; FEAST stacks on top for an 8-second omnivamp window post-kill that helps her sustain into the next target in a dueling chain. FAMINE’s AH reduces Riposte and Bladework cooldowns throughout her full AD build.
  • Camille: Hookshot-into-the-Vault combos set up consistent 3-second damage windows before kills. FEAST activates reliably from her burst pattern. Tactical Sweep (E) AoE ticks heal from FEAST omnivamp. FAMINE reduces the Hookshot and Tactical Sweep cooldowns as her AD scales.

Situational

  • Renekton: High base damage and CC from Ruthless Predator — FEAST activates easily from his reliable CC-into-kill pattern. Tenacity reduces incoming CC in return. Works but isn’t as core as for Darius/Tryndamere due to Renekton’s already high natural sustain from Reign of Anger.
  • Jarvan IV: Engage pattern (EQ flag + spear) creates reliable damage-to-kill windows; FEAST activates from his burst. FAMINE supports his naturally AD-heavy build. However, his primarily tank-fighter identity sometimes prefers defensive options.

Not Recommended

  • Ranged AD carries: Better AD + sustain options exist in the marksman item tree. Tenacity is less impactful for kiting ranged champions who play away from CC sources.
  • AP fighters (Rumble, Mordekaiser primary AP): FAMINE scales with bonus AD, not AP. AP-primary builds see near-zero value from the passive’s scaling.
  • Support fighters (Thresh, Nautilus): Their contribution is CC application and peeling — neither FEAST (kill-reward) nor FAMINE (AD scaling) aligns with their item priorities or playstyle.

⚙ Recommended Build Paths

Darius — FEAST Chain Teamfight Build

  1. Caulfield’s Warhammer — First back (1,050g): +20 AD + 15 AH; FAMINE begins scaling immediately; AH reduces Decimate cooldown for more stacking Hemorrhage applications
  2. Endless Hunger — First full item (3,100g): FAMINE + FEAST active; 20% tenacity reduces incoming CC during dives; 65 AD boosts all Hemorrhage ticks for FEAST healing value
  3. Trinity Force — Second item: Spellblade proc on every Decimate / Crippling Strike cast; Threaten passive adds HP-scaling damage; AS from Trinity accelerates Hemorrhage stacking speed during FEAST window
  4. Death’s Dance — Third item: Ignore Pain converts incoming damage to a bleed; AD + AH; pairs with Hemorrhage DoT pattern for fight-surviving damage absorption
  5. Sterak’s Gage — Fourth item: Lifeline shield activates when Darius takes lethal damage; HP stacking compounds with Death’s Dance; FEAST healing + Lifeline shield create near-unkillable window after first kill in a fight
  6. Ravenous Hydra — Fifth item: AoE cleave on every auto; Hemorrhage applies to multiple targets via Bloodthirst cleave; each AoE tick heals during FEAST omnivamp window — multiplying healing from single attack sequences

Tryndamere — Undying FEAST Crit Build

  1. Endless Hunger — First item (3,100g): FEAST directly synergises with Undying Rage — ult into kill into FEAST = unkillable AND healing for 8 seconds post-ult; FAMINE scales naturally with Tryndamere’s high crit/AD build
  2. Kraken Slayer — Second item: true damage every 3rd hit cuts through tanks and shields; AS + AD complements Tryndamere’s auto-reliant pattern; FEAST healing from true damage proc hits
  3. Infinity Edge — Third item: +35% crit damage at 60%+ crit; total ~75% crit; FEAST omnivamp on each amplified crit auto heals substantially during the 8-second window
  4. Phantom Dancer — Fourth item: AS + crit; ghost stacking on consecutive autos; shield passive activates as Undying Rage expires for double survival layer
  5. Mortal Reminder — Fifth item: Grievous Wounds application on hits; armour penetration for late-game armoured targets; ensures FEAST-healing advantage isn’t countered by enemy healing reductions applied in reverse
💡 Endless Hunger + Ravenous Hydra — FEAST AoE Healing: During the 8-second FEAST window, Ravenous Hydra‘s AoE cleave damage on every auto-attack heals for 20% total omnivamp. In a clustered teamfight where Hydra cleave hits 3–4 enemies simultaneously, each auto-attack heals 20% of the total AoE damage dealt — not just the primary target. Against five stacked enemies, FEAST + Hydra effectively generates healing comparable to a Support’s heal ability on every single basic attack. This combination is strongest on champions like Darius and Nasus who naturally engage clustered targets.

🔄 Similar Items — Fighter Sustain & AD Family

Endless Hunger targets a specific niche: AD fighter with scaling AH, tenacity, and kill-reward sustain. Here’s how it compares to the most relevant alternatives:

Sundered SkyAD + HP + AH; guaranteed crit on first post-ability auto; heal on that critChoose Sundered Sky for single-target burst + heal on first attack; Endless Hunger wins for sustained kill-chain sustain across multiple targets
EclipseAD + lethality + omnivamp; Ever Rising Moon shield on two ability hitsChoose Eclipse for burst assassin-fighter pattern targeting squishies; Endless Hunger wins for durability, tenacity, and FAMINE scaling into full AD builds
Maw of MalmortiusAD + MR + AH; Lifegrip shield vs magic damage; lifesteal on low HPChoose Maw when the primary threat is magic damage with burst; Endless Hunger wins when tenacity + kill-reward sustain are the priority over magic damage mitigation
Mercurial ScimitarAD + MR + Quicksilver active (removes CC instantly)Choose Mercurial when hard CC from a specific target (Malzahar ult, Mordekaiser R) needs to be cleansed on demand; Endless Hunger’s tenacity is passive reduction, not cleanse
Spear of ShojinAD + HP + AH; Dragonforce reduces non-ult cooldowns on ability useChoose Spear of Shojin for champions with high ability cycling frequency (Renekton, Jarvan IV) who want AH reduction per cast; FAMINE’s scaling is slower but broader across the full build

❌ Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

  • Not meeting the 3-second FEAST requirement: FEAST only activates if you dealt damage within 3 seconds before the takedown. Sitting back while an ally burns an enemy down from 20% HP then last-hitting with an ability doesn’t guarantee FEAST — you need to have been actively damaging them recently. Stay in the fight and continue applying damage pressure up to the kill moment.
  • Expecting FEAST to carry against grievous wounds: Grievous Wounds reduces healing from all sources by 40–60%, including omnivamp. Against teams with Thornmail, Mortal Reminder, or Chempunk Chainsword applied, FEAST omnivamp is significantly reduced. Factor in enemy anti-heal before relying on FEAST as a primary survival tool.
  • Buying Endless Hunger on low-AD builds expecting strong FAMINE: If your champion builds tank items, AP items, or hybrid items that don’t stack bonus AD, FAMINE barely exceeds its base 5 AH. FAMINE needs 100+ bonus AD to start delivering meaningful AH beyond what a single dedicated haste component provides.
  • Ignoring that tenacity stacks multiplicatively: Adding Mercury’s Treads (30% tenacity) on top of Endless Hunger (20% tenacity) doesn’t give 50% tenacity — multiplicative stacking gives 1 – (0.8 × 0.7) = 44% total tenacity. Understand the diminishing returns of stacking tenacity sources before over-investing.
  • Misusing omnivamp against structures and objectives: Omnivamp heals from damage dealt to champions, not from damage to towers, Baron, Dragon, or other non-champion targets. Don’t expect FEAST or the base 5% to generate healing during objective contests — only champion-damage fights trigger omnivamp.
  • Delaying the purchase past the natural power spike window: Endless Hunger is strongest as a first or second item where its AD and passives shape the mid-game fight pattern. Purchasing it as a fourth or fifth item means FAMINE starts scaling only when the build is nearly complete — the compounding value of early FAMINE scaling is lost.

✅ Best Practices

  • Chain kills deliberately to maintain FEAST uptime: Plan your teamfight aggression around FEAST — secure the first kill, identify the closest damaged target within 3 seconds, continue attacking to trigger a second FEAST window. Fights where you secure two or more consecutive kills while FEAST is active are where Endless Hunger’s healing becomes dominant.
  • Pair with Ravenous Hydra for maximum FEAST healing in teamfights: AoE cleave from Ravenous Hydra during the FEAST omnivamp window heals from every target in the AoE. Stack both items and position inside clusters — the combined healing per second during FEAST becomes among the highest non-item-active sustain in the game.
  • Track the 3-second damage window before each kill: Always deal at least one damage instance within 3 seconds before a kill lands. In practice this means continuing to auto-attack or apply DoT effects (Darius Hemorrhage, Nasus Wither) right up to the moment of the kill, not retreating early.
  • Build at least 3 AD items alongside Endless Hunger to maximise FAMINE: The item’s full value requires bonus AD accumulation. A build of Endless Hunger + Trinity Force + Ravenous Hydra + Death’s Dance accumulates 150–200+ bonus AD, pushing FAMINE to 20–25 AH from the single passive — making Endless Hunger retroactively efficient on AH contribution across the whole build.
  • Use tenacity to evaluate whether to also buy Mercury’s Treads: Endless Hunger’s 20% tenacity is meaningful standalone. Stack Mercury’s Treads only if the enemy composition is CC-heavy enough to justify 44% combined tenacity. Against mixed comps with light CC, Plated Steelcaps may provide better value in the boot slot.

🎬 Final Summary

Endless Hunger is the AD fighter item for champions who snowball through kill chains — a legendary that converts takedowns into healing windows, builds ability haste from the bonus AD you’re already accumulating, and reduces crowd control duration to keep melee fighters in range of their targets. No other fighter item in the current itemisation provides this specific combination of scaling AH + kill-reward omnivamp + tenacity in a single purchase.

The FAMINE passive is the item’s sleeper strength — it starts modest at purchase but grows into 20–30 AH by end-game without requiring additional haste investment. Every AD item in your build retroactively increases the AH value of the item you bought 20 minutes earlier, making Endless Hunger increasingly efficient as a build progresses rather than becoming a fixed-value stat that remains static.

The FEAST passive defines Endless Hunger’s identity as a snowball item — it does nothing until you score a takedown, then immediately converts that kill into an 8-second healing window that enables the next fight, and the next. Champions like Darius, Tryndamere, and Fiora who already chain-kill efficiently don’t just benefit from FEAST; they’re built around the exact kill-into-continue-fighting pattern that FEAST rewards. Pair with Ravenous Hydra for AoE FEAST healing, Death’s Dance for physical damage mitigation on top of omnivamp sustain, and Sterak’s Gage for the anti-burst shield that covers the gap before the first kill triggers FEAST.

Key Action Items:1. Always deal damage within 3 seconds before a kill to guarantee FEAST activation — actively attack the target right up to the kill moment rather than backing off early; FEAST does not care who lands the killing blow, only that you dealt damage in the recent window2. Build at least 3 AD items to fully leverage FAMINE’s scaling — at 150+ bonus AD the passive contributes 20 AH from a single item’s passive, making Endless Hunger an increasingly efficient haste source as the build progresses3. Pair with Ravenous Hydra to multiply FEAST healing across AoE targets in teamfights — during the 8-second window, every Hydra cleave hit on multiple enemies heals for 20% of total AoE damage simultaneously4. Evaluate tenacity stacking carefully — Endless Hunger’s 20% tenacity is meaningful standalone; only add Mercury’s Treads when the enemy comp justifies the combined 44% total tenacity from multiplicative stacking

FAQ

Q: Does FEAST activate on assists or only kills?

A: FEAST activates on takedowns — which includes both kills and assists — as long as you dealt damage to the target within 3 seconds before the takedown. You don’t need the killing blow. If an ally finishes an enemy champion that you damaged 2 seconds prior, FEAST still activates on your champion.

Q: Does Grievous Wounds counter FEAST omnivamp?

A: Yes. Grievous Wounds reduces all healing including omnivamp by 40% (30% at partial stacks). During FEAST, Grievous Wounds reduces effective healing from 20% omnivamp down to approximately 12%. Against teams with Thornmail, Mortal Reminder, or Chempunk Chainsword, the sustain value of FEAST is significantly reduced — factor in enemy anti-heal access when evaluating whether Endless Hunger’s sustain identity is reliable in a given matchup.

Q: How much ability haste does FAMINE provide at different AD totals?

A: FAMINE formula: 5 + (10% × bonus AD). At 65 bonus AD (Endless Hunger alone): ~11–12 AH. At 150 bonus AD (two-to-three item build): ~20 AH. At 250 bonus AD (full AD build): ~30 AH. The passive scales linearly with every bonus AD point from any source — items, runes, buffs all contribute to the FAMINE calculation.

Q: Does the base 5% omnivamp from Endless Hunger work on all damage types?

A: Yes. Omnivamp applies to all damage dealt — physical, magical, and true damage — from both basic attacks and abilities. The 5% base omnivamp from Endless Hunger heals across your entire damage output in every fight without distinction between damage type or source. During FEAST, the additional 15% applies to the same comprehensive damage pool.

Q: Can I stack Endless Hunger with Bloodthirster for maximum sustain?

A: You can hold both in the same build — there’s no SPELLBLADE-style exclusion here. Bloodthirster‘s life steal applies to basic attacks only, while Endless Hunger’s omnivamp applies to all damage. In theory, both can be active simultaneously, but the two-item investment in pure sustain usually has diminishing returns. Ravenous Hydra is typically the better sustain complement to Endless Hunger due to AoE omnivamp interacting with FEAST across multiple targets.

Q: Is Endless Hunger available in ARAM and Arena?

A: Yes — Endless Hunger is available in SR 5v5, ARAM, Nexus Blitz, and Arena with no mode-specific stat changes noted in the current patch. FEAST and FAMINE function identically across all available modes.
