What is Bloodsong? \u2694\ufe0f<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bloodsong is the aggressive kill-pressure support quest final item<\/strong> \u2014 the choice for supports who deal damage, set up kills, and want to amplify their physical attack combos through ability-then-auto weaving. As one of 5 final items in the support quest chain (World Atlas \u2192 Runic Compass \u2192 Bounty of Worlds \u2192 Bloodsong), it’s acquired for free via quest completion and targets a fundamentally different playstyle than the tank-oriented Celestial Opposition or the heal-utility Dream Maker and Solstice Sleigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SPELLBLADE passive<\/strong> converts the support’s ability cast into an empowered auto-attack setup: use any ability, and the next basic attack within 10 seconds deals bonus physical damage equal to 100% of the holder’s base AD<\/strong> as an on-hit proc. The Expose Weakness debuff<\/strong> applied to champion targets is where Bloodsong’s carry-setup utility lies \u2014 for 4 seconds after the SPELLBLADE empowered hit lands, the affected champion takes 8% increased damage from ALL sources (melee holder) or 5% (ranged holder). Every attack and ability from every ally on the team deals 8% more damage to that target during the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transforms Bloodsong from a pure damage item into a damage amplification platform for the entire team<\/strong>. A Pyke hook-into-SPELLBLADE sequence marks the hooked target with Expose Weakness before Pyke’s support partner (the ADC) bursts them \u2014 the ADC’s entire rotation benefits from the 8% damage amplification on every hit. For supports whose primary role is creating kill windows through hooks, stuns, and CC chains, Bloodsong converts each CC into a team-wide damage multiplier on the CC’d target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a1 SPELLBLADE \u2014 Complete Mechanics Reference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Core Loop \u2014 Ability \u2192 Empowered Auto \u2192 Expose Weakness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SPELLBLADE loop is straightforward in theory: cast any ability \u2192 land the next basic attack within 10 seconds \u2192 deal 100% base AD bonus on-hit \u2192 if the target is a champion, apply Expose Weakness<\/strong>. The practical execution involves two decisions: when to weave the empowered auto into the ability rotation (immediately after the ability, or after a CC window), and how to position the empowered auto to hit a champion rather than a minion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10-second window is generous<\/strong> \u2014 most support ability rotations complete within 3\u20135 seconds, leaving ample time to land the empowered auto. The consecutive ability cast refresh<\/strong> extends the window further: if a second ability is cast before the empowered auto lands (e.g., using a hook ability immediately followed by a stun ability), the 10-second timer resets from the second cast. This means supports with multi-CC ability sequences (Thresh Q hook + W lantern + E flay) can weave the empowered auto at the end of the full CC chain without the window expiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLBLADE Ability \u2192 Auto Weaving Examples:Pyke: <\/strong>Bone Skewer (Q hold) grabs target \u2192 SPELLBLADE granted at start of Q cast time \u2192 release Q lands enemy at feet \u2192 immediately auto-attack for SPELLBLADE bonus + Expose Weakness \u2192 ADC\/carry follow-up into Expose Weakness 4-second window. The hook’s stun\/displacement means the target cannot retaliate during the Expose Weakness window.Thresh: <\/strong>Death Sentence (Q) hook \u2192 SPELLBLADE granted \u2192 Flay (E) \u2192 second ability refreshes SPELLBLADE window \u2192 empowered auto at end of chain \u2192 Expose Weakness on hooked target \u2192 box The (R) around them during window. Full Thresh chain with Expose Weakness at the end of every CC sequence.Pantheon (support): <\/strong>Shield Vault (W) stun \u2192 SPELLBLADE granted at W cast \u2192 Comet Spear (Q) ranged poke \u2192 second ability refreshes window \u2192 Grand Starfall (R) empowered auto during descent \u2192 Expose Weakness applied. Pantheon’s high base AD (100+ at level 18) makes SPELLBLADE’s 100% base AD bonus damage significant: ~100 bonus on-hit physical damage + Expose Weakness on the R-targeted champion.Timing for the empowered auto: <\/strong>SPELLBLADE is granted at the START of the triggering ability’s cast time \u2014 not when it lands. This means for long-cast abilities (Pantheon R, Lux Q), the empowered auto window has already started ticking from the moment the cast begins. In practice, land the empowered auto immediately after the ability completes to maximise the window.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SPELLBLADE \u2014 Critical Interaction Rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u26a0\ufe0f Complete SPELLBLADE Interaction Rules:1. SPELLBLADE is PROC damage \u2014 NOT a spell effect:<\/strong>SPELLBLADE’s bonus on-hit damage cannot trigger spell effect interactions (Sheen-family interactions, spell echo effects). It is classified as proc damage, not ability damage, for the purpose of effect triggers. This is a technical classification that affects whether other effects that react to spell damage fire from SPELLBLADE hits.2. Spell shield interaction \u2014 context dependent:<\/strong>NOT blocked by spell shield if applied by a basic attack. However, IS blocked if the effect is applied by an ability that triggers on-hit effects. Standard play: the empowered SPELLBLADE auto-attack is not blocked by Sivir E or Nocturne W spell shields. Edge case: if an ability triggers on-hit effects and that on-hit applies SPELLBLADE, the spell shield blocks it.3. Critical strike modifiers do NOT affect SPELLBLADE:<\/strong>SPELLBLADE’s 100% base AD bonus is a flat proc \u2014 it does not crit. A critical strike auto-attack with SPELLBLADE active deals: (AD \u00d7 crit multiplier) + (100% base AD \u2014 flat, non-critting). The base AD bonus portion stays at 100% base AD regardless of crit chance or Infinity Edge.4. Can be BLOCKED or DODGED:<\/strong>Block: negates the damage, consumes the SPELLBLADE effect, and places it on cooldown. The effect is consumed even though the hit was blocked. Dodge: prevents the effect entirely \u2014 SPELLBLADE is NOT consumed and does not go on cooldown. The empowered auto window continues after a dodge.5. Lifesteal applies to SPELLBLADE (with exceptions):<\/strong>SPELLBLADE’s on-hit physical damage benefits from lifesteal, omnivamp, and physical vamp. Exceptions: Lich Bane and Dusk and Dawn’s physical vamp specifically do NOT apply to SPELLBLADE. Standard lifesteal from items (Bloodthirster, Immortal Shieldbow) and omnivamp sources (Ravenous Hydra) do apply.6. Structures and jungle plants:<\/strong>SPELLBLADE triggers against structures (towers, inhibitors, nexus) \u2014 useful for tower-dive and structure-damage scenarios. SPELLBLADE cannot trigger against or be consumed by jungle plants (blast cones, scryer’s bloom) \u2014 fire an ability near a plant without losing the SPELLBLADE charge.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Expose Weakness \u2014 Team-Wide Amplification Window<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expose Weakness is the component that elevates Bloodsong from a personal damage tool to a team-wide damage multiplier<\/strong>. The 4-second window after SPELLBLADE hits a champion covers a full ADC auto-attack sequence, most mage ability rotations, and the primary burst of most assassin combos. Against 2,000 HP targets receiving the full team’s DPS under 8% Expose Weakness, the amplification represents a substantial burst of bonus damage distributed across every attacking team member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The melee vs. ranged distinction (8% vs 5%)<\/strong> affects how valuable Expose Weakness is depending on the holder’s range classification. Melee supports (Pyke, Pantheon, Thresh in melee range) apply the more powerful 8% amplification \u2014 appropriate since melee supports are expected to be in close proximity where the empowered auto naturally hits the intended champion target. Ranged supports (Lux, Karma, Brand) apply 5% but from safer distances where the empowered auto can be landed without diving into melee range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
