Moonstone Renewer

What is Moonstone Renewer? 🌙

Moonstone Renewer is the chain-heal support item — a legendary Support item whose STARLIT GRACE passive automatically propagates a portion of any heal or shield to the nearest additional ally within range, effectively multiplying the support’s output without requiring additional inputs. Every single heal and shield cast chains to a second target for free, making it the highest raw throughput support item when multiple allies are in proximity.

The stat package (+25 AP, +20 AH, +200 HP, +125% base mana regen) is deliberately support-oriented: the mana regeneration sustains high-frequency heal/shield cycling, the AH reduces support ability CDs, and the HP provides survivability for frontline-adjacent supports. The AP is modest — Moonstone Renewer is not a damage item; the AP only amplifies any scaling on heal/shield abilities that use AP ratios.

At 2,200 Gold, it is one of the most affordable full legendary support items — tied with Redemption (2,300g) and cheaper than Locket of the Iron Solari (2,500g). The low cost enables fast completion and early passive impact in the mid-game when ally proximity is consistent. Sell price: 1,540 Gold. ID: 6617. Available on SR 5v5, ARAM, Nexus Blitz, and Arena.

How STARLIT GRACE Works

STARLIT GRACE activates every time you heal or shield an allied champion. The passive then automatically chains 30% of the heal or 35% of the shield’s initial strength to the nearest other allied champion within 800 units of the primary target (excluding yourself). The chain target is determined by proximity to the primary target — not to the caster.

If no other allied champion is within 800 units of the primary target, the same primary target receives the chain as an additional bonus — 30% more healing on top of the original heal, or 35% more shielding on top of the original shield. This means STARLIT GRACE never goes to waste: it either chains to a second ally or double-applies to the original target.

STARLIT GRACE — Chain Distance and Positioning

The 800-unit chain range is measured from the primary target, not from the caster. This means stacking allies close together (within 800 units of each other) ensures STARLIT GRACE always finds a secondary recipient. In teamfights where 3-5 allies are clustered, every heal and shield automatically reaches a second ally — effectively doubling the output per ability cast.

When allies are spread more than 800 units apart from the primary target — common in split-push or skirmish scenarios — STARLIT GRACE falls back to the no-ally bonus: the primary target receives 30%/35% additional healing/shielding. This means the item never loses value entirely, but the teamfight cluster scenario is where it performs at maximum efficiency.

STARLIT GRACE + Heal and Shield Power — Recursion Scaling

STARLIT GRACE has an instance of recursion with heal and shield power. This means: when heal and shield power increases the strength of the original heal or shield, STARLIT GRACE’s chain amount is calculated from that amplified value — not the base value. At 30% heal power from Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water, a 300 HP heal becomes 390 HP with heal power — and STARLIT GRACE chains 30% of 390 = 117 HP to the secondary target, not 30% of 300 = 90 HP.

Stacking heal and shield power items alongside Moonstone Renewer compounds the chain value. Dawncore provides +8% heal and shield power per 100 AP, Ardent Censer provides specific heal/shield power, Staff of Flowing Water‘s ally buffs compound the interaction. Each source of heal/shield power increases both the primary heal/shield AND the STARLIT GRACE chain simultaneously.

🎯 Best Champions for Moonstone Renewer

Moonstone Renewer is strongest on supports who heal or shield multiple allies frequently in close proximity. The item rewards high-frequency output with multiple nearby allies — the more often the support heals or shields and the more clustered allies are, the higher STARLIT GRACE’s effective throughput becomes.

✅ Ideal Picks

• Soraka — Astral Infusion (W) heals a single ally for a large amount — STARLIT GRACE chains 30% of that heal to the nearest other ally within 800 units simultaneously. In teamfights with 3-5 nearby allies, every W application reaches two allies for the same single cast. Equinox (E) silence + Starcall (Q) AoE provides consistent magic damage application while W cycling is the primary Moonstone value driver.
• Nami — Ebb and Flow (W) bounces between allied and enemy champions — each allied bounce triggers STARLIT GRACE independently. A single W cast that bounces 3 times potentially fires STARLIT GRACE 3 times from 3 separate cast instances (0.3s CD between instances). Tidal Wave (R) knockup also procs STARLIT GRACE on the heal component if any ally healing ability is combined with R combo.
• Lulu — Wild Growth (R) shield on a primary target → STARLIT GRACE chains 35% of the R shield to the nearest ally simultaneously. Whimsy (W) buff and Glitterlance (Q) also have interactions with STARLIT GRACE through shields. Her engage-support role places her in close proximity with diving allies — prime STARLIT GRACE chaining range constantly.
• Karma — Inner Flame (Q) / Soulflare (Mantra-Q) AoE provides consistent ability application, but her primary STARLIT GRACE driver is Inspire (E) shield on ally → Mantra-E (Defiance) AoE shield on nearby allies. Each Defiance-shielded ally independently triggers STARLIT GRACE if they heal/shield another — but Karma’s primary synergy is the Inspire E → STARLIT GRACE chain on the initial shield target.
• Seraphine — Stage Presence (P) passive AoE, Surround Sound (W) heal on allies, and Encore (R) AoE charm all provide multiple ability outputs that trigger STARLIT GRACE across the team. In a 5-player cluster, a single Surround Sound W heals 4 allies — STARLIT GRACE fires from each of the 4 primary heal applications, chaining to the nearest ally of each healed target. The total chain output from a single W on a clustered team is enormous.
• Yuumi — While attached, Yuumi’s Zoomies (E) heals the attached champion and empowers them. STARLIT GRACE chains 30% of that heal to the nearest ally within 800 units of the attached champion. In teamfights where the attached champion is surrounded by allies, STARLIT GRACE fires on every Zoomies E cast. The +125% mana regen enables her naturally high mana costs without sacrificing Zoomies cycling frequency.
• Renata Glasc — Loyalty Program (W) fires shields at allies within range — each shielded ally triggers STARLIT GRACE chains. Bailout (E) is an ability that primarily targets struggling allies, with STARLIT GRACE providing supplemental chains from each application. Her AoE chemical cloud patterns compound STARLIT GRACE by creating proximity clustering through consistent team presence.

❌ Suboptimal Picks

• Engage/damage supports (Thresh, Blitzcrank, Nautilus): these champions rarely heal or shield allies — STARLIT GRACE never triggers. Their core value is CC and pick potential, not sustain output. Locket of the Iron Solari provides the AoE shield utility for engagers without requiring heal/shield cycling.
• Single-target protection specialists in spread compositions: if the entire support pattern is shielding a single carry who is always isolated (split-push ADC, 1v1 flanker), STARLIT GRACE always falls back to the same-target bonus — functional but not the full team-amplification value. Echoes of Helia or Shurelya’s Battlesong may provide more relevant passives for isolated target protection builds.

⚙️ Recommended Build Paths

Enchanter Support — Maximum Heal/Shield Throughput (Soraka / Nami / Seraphine)

1. Moonstone Renewer — First item — STARLIT GRACE online at minute 11-13; chain healing starts immediately in mid-game teamfights

❌ Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

• Building it on engage supports who rarely heal or shield: STARLIT GRACE is zero-value if heal/shield abilities are rarely used. Thresh, Nautilus, and Blitzcrank land hooks, pull enemies, and chain CC — they don’t heal or shield allies frequently enough for STARLIT GRACE to generate meaningful throughput. Locket of the Iron Solari or Shurelya’s Battlesong serve engage supports far better.
• Not using the same-target fallback intentionally: when playing in split-push or 1-2 player skirmish scenarios, allies are often spread beyond 800 units. The same-target fallback (+30% heal or +35% shield on the primary target) is a meaningful bonus — don’t assume the item is underperforming; evaluate whether the double-application on the primary target is being used effectively.
• Not stacking heal and shield power alongside: STARLIT GRACE scales with heal and shield power through recursion. Building Ardent Censer and Staff of Flowing Water alongside Moonstone compounds both the primary heal/shield values AND the STARLIT GRACE chain values simultaneously. Skipping heal power items leaves the recursion scaling untapped.
• Ignoring positioning of primary target: STARLIT GRACE chains from the primary target to the nearest ally within 800 units of them. Healing an isolated ally at the front of an engage chain when all other allies are behind them and spread out means STARLIT GRACE might not find a secondary target. Shield/heal allies who are already nearest to other allies — the clustered teammate, not the frontline solo diver.
• Treating the bonus shield as a specific damage-type shield: STARLIT GRACE’s bonus shield is always a normal all-damage shield regardless of the original triggering shield type. If the original shield was a physical-only shield (rare), the chain is still a normal shield. This is relevant for understanding what the chain provides — it’s always full-spectrum protection.

✅ Best Practices

• Shield or heal the most clustered ally first: STARLIT GRACE targets the nearest ally to the primary target — heal the ally who is closest to other teammates to guarantee the chain reaches a second target within 800 units
• Build Ardent Censer and Staff of Flowing Water alongside: heal and shield power amplifies STARLIT GRACE chain values through recursion; every point of heal power increases both primary and chain output simultaneously
• Pair with Redemption: Redemption’s AoE heal fires STARLIT GRACE from each healed ally independently — in a 5-player cluster, a single Redemption activation generates up to 4 STARLIT GRACE chains simultaneously
• Use the same-target fallback in 1v1 protection: if the team is split, the fallback +30%/+35% bonus on the single protected ally is still free value — evaluate it as a single-target amplifier rather than a wasted passive
• In Arena: leverage the self-trigger: Arena’s NEW EFFECT allows STARLIT GRACE to trigger on the caster — healing an ally can now chain back to yourself; build around self-heal patterns to exploit this; the 0.25s CD allows faster chain cycling than SR

FAQ

Q: Does STARLIT GRACE work with AoE heals like Redemption?

A: Yes — and this is one of the most impactful interactions. Redemption‘s INTERVENTION active heals all nearby allied champions simultaneously. Each ally that receives a primary heal from Redemption fires STARLIT GRACE independently from that ally’s position. In a fully clustered 5-person team, Redemption’s activation generates up to 4 STARLIT GRACE chains (one per ally who was the primary heal recipient, chaining to their nearest ally). Combined with heal power from Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water, the effective total healing is dramatically amplified beyond the raw Redemption numbers.

Q: Does STARLIT GRACE scale with heal and shield power?

A: Yes — STARLIT GRACE has explicit recursion with heal and shield power. When heal power increases the original heal amount, STARLIT GRACE’s 30% chain is calculated from the amplified heal value. At 30% heal power from Ardent Censer: a base 300 HP heal → 390 HP healed → STARLIT GRACE chains 117 HP (30% of 390) vs 90 HP without heal power. Every source of heal/shield power simultaneously increases primary output and chain output — the scaling is multiplicative.

Q: Who receives the STARLIT GRACE chain — the closest ally to me or to the target?

A: A: The chain goes to the nearest other allied champion within 800 units of the PRIMARY TARGET — not the caster. The caster is also excluded. This means positioning relative to your heal/shield target determines who gets the chain, not your own position. Shield a clustered ally surrounded by teammates to guarantee the 800-unit chain reaches a second recipient; don’t shield an isolated frontliner when all other allies are behind you at 1,500+ range.

Q: What happens when no ally is within 800 units of the primary target?

A: A: STARLIT GRACE falls back to the primary target — granting them an additional 30% of the heal or 35% of the shield on top of the original. This means the item never provides zero value: either a second ally receives the chain, or the primary target receives bonus healing/shielding. The fallback is intentionally generous — in duo lane or isolated protection scenarios, the item still provides meaningful throughput amplification on the protected target.

Q: Does STARLIT GRACE’s bonus shield type match the original shield?

A: A: No — STARLIT GRACE’s bonus shield is always a normal shield that blocks all damage types (physical and magic) regardless of the original triggering shield type. Even if the triggering shield was a physical-only or magic-only specialized shield, the chain always generates a standard universal-damage shield. The bonus shield duration DOES match the original — same duration, different type.

Q: Does Arena change who STARLIT GRACE can chain to?

A: A: Yes — Arena adds a new effect where STARLIT GRACE can now trigger on the user (caster). In standard modes, you are excluded from being the chain recipient. In Arena, healing an ally can chain back to you if you are the nearest ally within 800 units of your primary target. Combined with Arena’s 0.25-second CD (vs 0.30 on SR) and buffed +30 AH and +35 AP, Moonstone Renewer’s Arena version is meaningfully different in self-sustain scenarios — particularly relevant for Arena’s duo and solo fight rounds.
