What is Locket of the Iron Solari? \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Locket of the Iron Solari is the teamwide emergency shield item for tanks and supports<\/strong> \u2014 a legendary defensive item whose DEVOTION active fires simultaneously on every allied champion within 850 units, applying a level-scaling shield that absorbs incoming damage for 2.5 seconds. In a single button press, the entire team gains a shield layer before a fight-defining ability lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DEVOTION active is fundamentally a reactive protection tool<\/strong>: it does not deal damage, apply CC, or extend range \u2014 it creates a window of approximately 2.5 seconds where the entire team has an additional damage buffer against burst, zone control, or assassination sequences. Tanks and front-line supports who stand between their carries and the enemy are the ideal holders because they can trigger DEVOTION before initiating or immediately after the enemy team commits to an engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2,200 Gold<\/strong>, Locket of the Iron Solari is one of the most cost-efficient defensive items in the game for the DEVOTION’s teamwide value. Individual stats (+25 armor, +25 MR, +200 HP, +10 AH) are modest, but the active’s ability to shield 4 allies simultaneously in one cast makes the effective HP-per-gold calculation multiply with team size. Building from Kindlegem<\/strong><\/a>, Cloth Armor, and Null-Magic Mantle, it is accessible as a first or second item for tank supports. Sell price: 1,540 Gold<\/strong>. ID: 3190.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcca DEVOTION Shield Value by Level<\/strong>Shield scales linearly from 200 (level 1) to 360 (level 18) based on the TARGET’s level, not the caster’s level.Level 1 target: 200 shield.Level 6 target: ~260 shield.Level 9 target: ~300 shield (midpoint).Level 12 target: ~326 shield.Level 15 target: ~347 shield.Level 18 target: 360 shield (maximum).Teamwide value at level 18 (5 allies all level 18): 5 \u00d7 360 = 1,800 total shield value in one cast.The 2.5-second decay means the shield doesn’t provide full absorption against sustained damage \u2014 it’s a burst-protection window, not a sustained tank. Against a single high-burst ability (Zed R, Karthus R, Orianna R), the 360 shield absorbs one significant portion of the incoming damage.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Locket’s DEVOTION fires immediately before the enemy engage connects; Ardent Censer rewards sustained ability use.Zeke’s Convergence<\/strong><\/a> is an adjacent comparison: Zeke’s empowers a specific nearby ally with slow + bonus damage on the support’s CC abilities, while Locket provides broad teamwide shielding with no ally-targeting requirement.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How DEVOTION Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTION is activated manually (it is an active ability<\/strong>, not a passive). When activated, it auto-targets all allied champions within 850 units<\/strong> \u2014 no aiming required. Every ally in range (including the caster) simultaneously receives the level-scaling shield. The shield begins decaying immediately over 2.5 seconds from application, providing a decaying damage buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The no cast time mechanic<\/strong> is a critical advantage in reactive situations: DEVOTION can be activated while the holder is mid-cast of another ability<\/strong>. A tank support can use Flash + CC ability and activate DEVOTION simultaneously without interrupting either action. The no-cast-time also means DEVOTION can be activated even when hard-locked by channels or mid-animation ability casts \u2014 though CC that prevents item use (stuns, suppression) still blocks activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTION does not break stealth<\/strong> \u2014 champions using stealthed champions near the support (Twitch, Evelynn, Rengar pre-leap) can receive the shield without being revealed. This is relevant in specific dive compositions where a stealthed assassin re-entering stealth after an engage receives the Locket shield without compromising the stealth status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f DEVOTION \u2014 Critical Rules<\/strong>Auto-targeted \u2014 DEVOTION fires on ALL allies within 850 units simultaneously with no aiming. Positioning the team within 850 units before activation maximizes shields applied.No cast time \u2014 activate DEVOTION during Flash + Engage, during channel abilities, or mid-ability animation without interrupting those actions.Does NOT break stealth \u2014 stealthed allies receive the shield without being revealed.75% penalty for recent Devotion \u2014 if an ally was shielded by any Devotion in the last 20 seconds, their shield from this activation is reduced by 75%. Avoid firing DEVOTION on allies who were recently shielded by the enemy support’s Locket.Multiple triggers refresh duration only \u2014 no additional shield value from double-activating. The shield value is fixed by the target’s level at time of application.Affects UNTARGETABLE allies \u2014 a Kayle R target or Zhonya’s STASIS ally who is untargetable still receives the shield from DEVOTION.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTION Timing \u2014 When to Activate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2.5-second decay window defines the optimal timing: DEVOTION should be activated just before the critical damage arrives<\/strong>, not far in advance. A shield activated 3 seconds before the enemy team engages has already fully decayed by the time the damage lands. The no-cast-time mechanic enables reactive last-frame activation \u2014 pressing DEVOTION at the moment an enemy ability lands is the ideal pattern for blocking the highest proportion of burst damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
