What is Hollow Radiance? \ud83d\udd25<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hollow Radiance is the anti-magic tank aura item<\/strong> \u2014 combining the IMMOLATE damage aura for sustained melee zone-control damage with meaningful magic resistance and HP for fighting AP-heavy compositions. While Sunfire Aegis<\/strong><\/a> serves as the physical\/mixed-composition IMMOLATE tank item, Hollow Radiance adds +40 MR<\/strong> to the identical IMMOLATE aura framework, making it the correct IMMOLATE choice when the primary enemy threat is magic damage. The item is a direct replacement for Sunfire Aegis in the IMMOLATE item slot when the enemy team includes a fed AP carry, AP assassin, or AP-dominant composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMMOLATE’s sustained 15 (+1% bonus HP) magic damage per second<\/strong> activates on any damage taken or dealt \u2014 effectively making the aura passive for any tank in combat. At 3,000 bonus HP, the IMMOLATE tick deals 15 + 30 = 45 magic damage per second. Over a 5-second melee exchange, that’s 225 AoE magic damage delivered to every enemy within 325 units \u2014 dealing meaningful zone pressure against squishy AP carries who attempt to position near the frontline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESOLATE adds a wave-clear execute dimension: non-champion kills generate an eruption that makes Hollow Radiance tanks capable of clearing minion waves and jungle camps<\/strong> by positioning in melee range while IMMOLATE and DESOLATE chain-kill units. The DESOLATE champion takedown version \u2014 60 (+4% bonus HP) magic damage in a 500-unit radius<\/strong> \u2014 turns champion kills into AoE damage events that punish clustered enemies.

\ud83d\udca1 Bami’s Cinder \u2014 IMMOLATE Available from Component Purchase<\/strong>Bami’s Cinder<\/strong><\/a> (900g) carries the IMMOLATE aura at component level. As soon as Bami’s Cinder is purchased, the IMMOLATE passive activates \u2014 dealing damage to nearby enemies during combat. This means the AoE zone damage from Hollow Radiance’s core mechanic is available from the first 900g purchase, significantly before the full 2,800g item is complete.Bami’s Cinder IMMOLATE at component level scales with the current bonus HP \u2014 even at component purchase (typically 800-1,200 bonus HP from other items), the tick damage is already meaningful at 15 + 8-12 = 23-27 magic damage per second.Spectre’s Cowl<\/strong><\/a> (1,250g) provides +200 HP + 25 MR + HP regen on purchase. Against AP-heavy matchups, Spectre’s Cowl as second component brings significant MR and HP regen before completing the full Hollow Radiance \u2014 making the Spectre’s Cowl purchase itself a meaningful defensive investment mid-build.Purchase order options:  Bami’s Cinder first (900g): IMMOLATE aura active early; better for fights and sustained laning where the AoE damage matters from the start.  Spectre’s Cowl first (1,250g): immediate MR + HP regen for defensive stability; correct when the AP threat is causing problems in early laning before first item completion.At 2,800g total, Hollow Radiance costs less than Kaenic Rookern (2,900g) but more than Force of Nature (2,800g). All three are MR legendaries \u2014 the choice between them depends on which combination of stats and passives best fits the match situation.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd25 IMMOLATE & DESOLATE \u2014 Complete Mechanics Reference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IMMOLATE \u2014 Combat-Activated AoE Magic Damage Aura<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IMMOLATE activates when the holder takes or deals any damage<\/strong> \u2014 the broadest possible trigger condition; any combat interaction starts the 3-second aura window. The aura resets to 3 seconds on each new damage instance, meaning sustained combat keeps IMMOLATE continuously active. The 325-unit radius<\/strong> covers the immediate melee combat zone \u2014 roughly 2\u00d7 standard melee champion attack range. Enemies who attempt to stay in melee exchange range of the Hollow Radiance holder are continuously within the aura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonus size scaling<\/strong> on the radius is a niche but relevant mechanic: effects that increase champion size (Cho’Gath Feast stacks, Elixir of Iron, certain ability amplifications) increase the aura radius proportionally based on 100% of the size increase. The wiki notes the aura cannot be reduced below its base 325-unit radius by negative size modifiers \u2014 size reduction effects can’t shrink the aura below baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important positioning limitation: some melee champions cannot apply IMMOLATE at maximum attack range against champions or monsters with large collision radii<\/strong> (specifically noting Dragon and Rift Herald as examples). Because IMMOLATE’s aura must reach the enemy’s center<\/strong> to deal damage, a champion with very large collision radius may have their center beyond the 325-unit aura range even when the Hollow Radiance holder is at maximum auto-attack range. This is a niche edge case, but relevant for dragon\/objective fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESOLATE \u2014 Kill-Triggered AoE Eruption<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DESOLATE fires on two trigger types with different scale and conditions. The non-champion kill eruption<\/strong> (30 + 2% bonus HP, 350-unit radius) triggers automatically whenever the Hollow Radiance holder kills any non-champion unit \u2014 minion, jungle monster, ward, or structure. The eruption appears at the killed unit’s location, not the holder’s location. This makes DESOLATE’s wave-clear mechanic passive and position-independent: killing a minion at the far edge of the wave creates a 350-unit eruption there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The champion takedown eruption<\/strong> (60 + 4% bonus HP, 500-unit radius) requires a takedown within 3 seconds of the Hollow Radiance holder dealing damage to the champion \u2014 the same 3-second window used in Hubris’s EMINENCE mechanic. At 3,000 bonus HP, this eruption deals 180 magic damage in a 500-unit area. The larger 500-unit radius vs 350-unit (minion kill) provides a wider zone that can catch multiple enemies clustering around a champion who just died \u2014 converting a champion kill into additional AoE damage on the entire surrounding cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMMOLATE Item Group \u2014 Cannot Combine Sunfire and Hollow Radiance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IMMOLATE is a named item group<\/strong> with a 1-item limit. Sunfire Aegis<\/strong><\/a> and Hollow Radiance are both IMMOLATE items and cannot be built simultaneously. The choice between them is exclusive and permanent for that build<\/strong>: Hollow Radiance for AP-heavy matchups (adding MR), Sunfire Aegis for physical\/mixed matchups (adding armor instead of MR). Both items share the identical IMMOLATE passive formula \u2014 the stat profiles around that passive differ entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f IMMOLATE & DESOLATE \u2014 Critical Rules<\/strong>IMMOLATE and DESOLATE deal DEFAULT damage \u2014 they do NOT trigger spell effects (items or runes that proc from ability\/spell hits). Both are auto-targeted effects.IMMOLATE aura radius can INCREASE with champion size buffs (Cho’Gath Feast, Elixir of Iron) \u2014 size increases scale the 325-unit radius. Cannot be reduced BELOW 325 by negative size effects.Large collision targets (Dragon, Rift Herald): IMMOLATE must reach the enemy’s CENTER to deal damage. At max attack range against Dragon\/Rift Herald, the holder may be too far for the aura center-to-center check to succeed.DESOLATE champion takedown: requires the Hollow Radiance holder to have dealt damage to the champion within the 3 seconds before the takedown. Assists count if the holder damaged the target within 3 seconds.DESOLATE eruption fires at the DEATH LOCATION of the killed unit \u2014 not at the Hollow Radiance holder’s position.

Against AP-heavy compositions \u2014 the MR provides direct damage mitigation against magic abilities while IMMOLATE deals passive zone damage in melee exchanges.Sunfire Aegis<\/strong><\/a>: +10 AH, +40 armor, +450 HP. IMMOLATE + DESOLATE. Against physical\/mixed compositions \u2014 the armor provides direct physical damage mitigation. +450 HP vs Hollow Radiance’s +400 HP (+50 HP difference); Hollow Radiance adds +40 MR + HP regen while Sunfire adds +40 armor.Key comparison points:  IMMOLATE passive: IDENTICAL formula on both items \u2014 same damage per tick, same radius, same minion bonus.  DESOLATE passive: IDENTICAL on both items.  Sunfire: +40 armor. Correct when the primary damage source is physical (AD carries, physical assassins).  Hollow Radiance: +40 MR + 100% base HP regen. Correct when the primary damage source is magic (AP mages, AP assassins, AP bruisers).  Cost: both cost 2,800 Gold \u2014 identical gold efficiency before passive contributions.Cannot build both \u2014 the IMMOLATE group limit forces this to be a one-or-the-other decision based on enemy composition. Against balanced physical\/magical compositions, Sunfire Aegis is typically preferred for the higher HP (+50) and armor, while Hollow Radiance is reserved for matchups where magic damage is the primary existential threat.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Arena Hollow Radiance \u2014 5% Bonus HP IMMOLATE + Burn Classification<\/strong>Arena makes four significant changes to Hollow Radiance:1. HP +400 \u2192 +450: minor 50 HP increase; Arena Hollow Radiance has a slightly higher HP contribution.2. Base HP regen 100% \u2192 0%: the regen component is removed entirely in Arena. The between-combat regen that makes Hollow Radiance valuable in long SR games is non-existent in Arena’s round format, where the regen window between rounds serves the same recovery purpose.3. IMMOLATE ratio 1% bonus HP \u2192 5% bonus HP: THIS IS THE MAJOR ARENA CHANGE. The tick damage formula becomes 15 + (5% \u00d7 bonus HP). At Arena-typical HP builds:  500 bonus HP: 15 + 25 = 40 magic damage per tick (vs 20 on SR). 5\u00d7 higher.  1,500 bonus HP: 15 + 75 = 90 magic damage per tick (vs 30 on SR). 3\u00d7 higher.  2,500 bonus HP: 15 + 125 = 140 magic damage per tick (vs 40 on SR).4. IMMOLATE is classified as a Burn effect in Arena: Burn-specific interactions and immunities apply.5. DESOLATE non-champion kill = 300% of IMMOLATE’s current damage: at 1,500 bonus HP Arena IMMOLATE damage of 90, DESOLATE fires at 270 magic damage per kill eruption in 350 units. Extremely high non-champion wave-clear damage in Arena.Net Arena impact: Hollow Radiance becomes significantly stronger for sustained melee combat in Arena due to the 5\u00d7 HP ratio increase. A tank with 2,000 bonus HP in Arena deals 115 IMMOLATE damage per tick \u2014 making Hollow Radiance a genuine damage-dealing item in Arena, not just a utility tank passive.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf When to Build Hollow Radiance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hollow Radiance is correct when the primary damage threat from the enemy team is magic damage AND the game plan involves sustained melee engagement<\/strong> where IMMOLATE’s passive AoE damage contributes real value. The 40 MR directly reduces incoming AP ability damage, and the +100% base HP regen sustains the tank through extended laning and between-fight recovery. The IMMOLATE passive provides always-on zone damage that punishes AP carries who try to position near the frontline during teamfights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
