Radiant Virtue<\/strong> is the Arena-exclusive Prismatic Tank item<\/strong> \u2014 the only dedicated tank Prismatic in the documented Anvil pool. Stats: +35 Armor<\/strong>, +35 Magic Resistance<\/strong>, +400 Health<\/strong>, and +12% Heal and Shield Power<\/strong>. Its passive GUIDING LIGHT<\/strong> triggers upon casting the carrier’s ultimate ability: the carrier Transcends for 9 seconds<\/strong>. While Transcended: maximum health increases by 12.5%<\/strong>, and the carrier plus all allies within 1200 units<\/strong> are healed for 3% of the carrier’s maximum health<\/strong> upon Transcending and every 3 seconds thereafter \u2014 for a total healing of 12% of maximum health<\/strong> across the 9-second window. 30-second cooldown. GUIDING LIGHT affects untargetable allies<\/strong> \u2014 champions in invulnerable or untargetable states still receive the heal. For channeled abilities<\/strong>, GUIDING LIGHT activates after the channel ends<\/strong>, not at channel start. Radiant Virtue is the Arena Prismatic tank-support item<\/strong> \u2014 a stat bundle combining mixed defenses with healing power, and an ultimate-triggered AoE team heal that simultaneously increases the tank’s own maximum HP, creating a fight-turning HP expansion + party sustain window<\/strong> every 30 seconds on ultimate cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Radiant Virtue \u2014 The Only Dedicated Tank Prismatic: <\/strong>Among the Prismatic items documented in this guide series (Everfrost for mage CC, Night Harvester for mage burst\/mobility, Goredrinker for fighter sustain, Galeforce for ADC mobility, and now Radiant Virtue), Radiant Virtue is the sole tank-oriented Prismatic<\/strong>. Its stat profile (35 armor, 35 MR, 400 HP, 12% HSP) is the pure tank scaling package: mixed resistances that reduce both physical and magic damage, HP for absolute effective HP pool, and HSP that amplifies every heal source on the tank. In Arena 2v2 where a tank + carry composition<\/strong> (one tankier champion protecting a fragile carry partner) is a common and strong pairing, Radiant Virtue provides the Prismatic half of the tank’s build \u2014 compressing the defensive foundation into one Anvil slot and freeing Legendary slots for damage items (Sunfire Aegis, Heartsteel, Jak’Sho) or utility (Redemption, Locket).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The 12% HSP Self-Reinforcement With GUIDING LIGHT: <\/strong>Radiant Virtue provides +12% Heal and Shield Power<\/strong>, which directly amplifies its own GUIDING LIGHT heal ticks. Each 3% max HP tick is multiplied by the 1.12 HSP modifier: 3% x 1.12 = 3.36% effective max HP per tick<\/strong>. Over 4 ticks: 13.44% of maximum health total healing per GUIDING LIGHT window instead of 12%<\/strong> \u2014 a 1.44% bonus from HSP self-interaction. At 3375 effective max HP during Transcend: 13.44% \u00d7 3375 = approximately 453 HP total per ally instead of 405 HP without HSP<\/strong>. The HSP bonus additionally amplifies any other heal or shield sources active on the tank (Redemption active, ability-based heals, shield items) \u2014 creating a passive healing amplification layer that covers the tank’s entire sustain profile beyond just GUIDING LIGHT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The 12.5% Max HP Expansion During Transcend \u2014 Practical Implications: <\/strong>When GUIDING LIGHT activates, the carrier’s maximum health increases by 12.5% for the 9-second Transcend window. This is not a shield or temporary HP buffer<\/strong> \u2014 it is a direct increase to the maximum health pool. At 3000 max HP: 3000 \u00d7 1.125 = 3375 max HP during Transcend. The implications are twofold: first, the heal ticks are calculated from the increased max HP<\/strong> (3% of 3375, not 3% of 3000), so the absolute heal per tick is larger during Transcend than it would be without the expansion. Second, if the tank’s current HP is below 3375 but above 3000 when Transcend activates<\/strong>, the expanded max HP does not instantly fill the gap \u2014 the tank still needs healing to reach the expanded maximum. The expansion effectively creates more room for healing to fill, rather than filling it automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Why HP Stacking Amplifies GUIDING LIGHT Disproportionately: <\/strong>GUIDING LIGHT heals for 3% of the carrier’s maximum health<\/strong> \u2014 not the ally’s HP, not a flat value, but the tank’s own max HP. Every HP item the tank builds directly scales GUIDING LIGHT’s absolute heal output. A tank at 4000 max HP heals allies for 540 HP total per Transcend window<\/strong> (without HSP). A tank at 6000 max HP heals allies for 810 HP total per Transcend window<\/strong> \u2014 50% more healing simply from 50% more HP. Building HP items is simultaneously building personal durability AND team healing output<\/strong> with Radiant Virtue. Heartsteel (permanent HP stacking through champion hits) compounds this relationship across the game: each Heartsteel HP stack increases Radiant Virtue’s GUIDING LIGHT healing for all subsequent Transcend cycles, making the item combination improve with time<\/strong> rather than having fixed output from the start of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Channeled Ultimate Interaction \u2014 Why It Matters for Specific Champions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For ultimates that are channeled<\/strong> (requiring the carrier to hold still while the ability resolves), GUIDING LIGHT activates after the channel ends<\/strong>, not at cast start. Channeled ultimates include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Fortune<\/td>Bullet Time R<\/td>~3 seconds<\/td>GUIDING LIGHT Transcend activates after R finishes \u2014 heals after the channel, not during it<\/td><\/tr>

\ud83d\udca1 The Channeled Interaction Implication for Build Planning: <\/strong>Champions who use Radiant Virtue specifically for GUIDING LIGHT’s immediate heal to protect themselves during a vulnerable channel (Miss Fortune R, Katarina R) receive no protection during the channel itself<\/strong> \u2014 GUIDING LIGHT fires after<\/strong> the channel ends. If the tank partner is Miss Fortune using R as the ultimate trigger, the GUIDING LIGHT heal arrives post-R, not as a defensive buffer while MF is stationary and channeling. For channeling ultimates, the 3% heal tick on Transcend arrival provides recovery after the vulnerable window<\/strong>, not protection during it. Non-channeled ultimates (instant or brief-animation ultimates like Malphite R, Amumu R) trigger GUIDING LIGHT immediately with no delay gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
