What is Morellonomicon? \ud83d\udcd6<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morellonomicon is the AP Grievous Wounds item<\/strong> \u2014 the primary anti-healing tool for mages, AP supports, and ability-damage champions. Its GRIEVOUS WOUNDS passive fires on magic damage to champions<\/strong>, reducing all healing received by 40% for 3 seconds. Unlike Mortal Reminder<\/strong><\/a> (physical damage trigger) or Thornmail<\/strong><\/a> (reflect damage trigger), Morellonomicon targets the ability-damage archetype \u2014 poke mages, AoE damage dealers, and AP supports who hit champions with spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stat package is unusual: +75 AP, +15 AH, and +350 HP<\/strong> \u2014 the health is not standard on pure damage AP items. This combination makes Morellonomicon one of the more durable AP items<\/strong> in the game, providing meaningful survivability alongside damage and anti-heal. The HP enables it on champions who benefit from hybrid AP\/HP scaling (Vladimir<\/strong><\/a>, Sylas<\/strong><\/a>, Cassiopeia<\/strong><\/a>) and supports who need survivability (Lulu<\/strong><\/a>, Soraka<\/strong><\/a> as a flex-damage build).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2,850 Gold<\/strong>, it’s cheaper than most full AP items (Rabadon’s Deathcap<\/strong><\/a> at 3,500g, Shadowflame<\/strong><\/a> at 3,200g) while providing the unique GW utility that cannot be sourced elsewhere for AP damage dealers. Sell price: 1,995 Gold<\/strong>. ID: 3165. Available on SR 5v5, ARAM, Nexus Blitz, and Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude78 GRIEVOUS WOUNDS \u2014 Complete Mechanics for AP Champions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trigger Condition: Magic Damage to Champions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Morellonomicon’s GRIEVOUS WOUNDS fires on magic damage dealt to enemy champions<\/strong>. This is a broader trigger than it appears \u2014 virtually every ability a mage casts deals magic damage and will trigger GW on each champion hit. AoE abilities that hit multiple champions apply GW to each champion independently<\/strong> \u2014 a Lux E (Final Spark) traveling through a team applies GW to every champion in its path, each with their own 3-second independent GW timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3-second duration refreshes on every magic damage hit<\/strong>. Sustained AoE damage champions (Cassiopeia W Miasma, Brand E Conflagration DoT, Malzahar R Nether Grasp) maintain GW indefinitely as long as damage ticks continue hitting the target. A single-hit poke mage (Lux Q) applies GW for 3 seconds and then must land another ability within that window to refresh \u2014 failing which the target’s healing resumes at full rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f GRIEVOUS WOUNDS Critical Rules for AP Champions<\/strong>GW applies through shields \u2014 magic damage absorbed by a shield still inflicts GW on the champion.GW does NOT reduce shields themselves \u2014 Lulu E, Seraph’s Embrace shield, Immortal Shieldbow are unaffected in shield value.GW reduces ALL healing simultaneously: life steal, omnivamp, regeneration, ability heals, drain effects.AoE ability hits multiple champions \u2014 each receives independent GW application.DoT damage (Cassiopeia W, Brand passive, Malzahar passive) refreshes GW continuously for as long as DoT ticks deal damage to the champion.GW from Morellonomicon applies only from YOUR magic damage \u2014 allies’ damage does not extend your GW application.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GW Applies Through Shields \u2014 AP Champion Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The shield-bypass rule matters specifically for AP champions facing common shield items: if Sterak’s Gage<\/strong><\/a> LIFELINE shield activates on an enemy fighter, the next spell that deals magic damage into that shield still applies GW \u2014 even if the spell damage is fully absorbed. If Banshee’s Veil<\/strong><\/a>‘s passive spell-blocking bubble deflects a spell entirely, GW does NOT<\/strong> apply to that deflected spell (the spell was fully blocked). However, if any magic damage lands despite spell shield presence (separate spell, area damage), GW applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Immortal Shieldbow<\/strong><\/a> on ADCs: the LIFELINE shield absorbs damage but GW still applies through it. This is the same rule as Mortal Reminder<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 shields absorb damage value but the GW debuff still fires on the target regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 GW Through Shields vs Banshee’s Veil \u2014 Critical Distinction<\/strong>Sterak’s Gage<\/strong><\/a> LIFELINE shield: magic damage fires into the shield \u2192 damage absorbed \u2192 GW STILL APPLIES to champion. Shield reduces damage, not GW.Immortal Shieldbow<\/strong><\/a> LIFELINE shield: same \u2014 GW applies through the shield absorption.Banshee’s Veil<\/strong><\/a> passive spell-blocking bubble: spell is FULLY DEFLECTED \u2192 no magic damage lands \u2192 GW does NOT apply. The spell must make contact with the champion to apply GW.Edge of Night<\/strong><\/a> spell shield (on enemy): same as Banshee’s \u2014 deflected spells don’t land \u2192 no GW.Rule: GW fires if magic damage CONTACTS the target (even absorbed). GW does not fire if the ability is fully deflected before contact.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arena trades 100 HP for +15 additional AP<\/strong> (90 vs 75). The AP buff makes Morellonomicon stronger for pure damage output in Arena’s faster-paced rounds. The HP reduction (350\u2192250) is meaningful \u2014 100 HP less survivability \u2014 but the +15 AP increase compensates with increased ability damage and higher ICATHIAN BITE-equivalent scaling on AP on-hit builds. The Arena NEW EFFECT (80% GW threshold)<\/strong> is identical to the Mortal Reminder Arena mechanic: maintaining continuous GW while the target heals 60%+ of their max HP triggers 80% healing reduction, effectively negating virtually all sustain in extended Arena fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Arena 80% GW \u2014 AP Champion Application<\/strong>Target must heal 60%+ of max HP while CONTINUOUSLY under GW (no 3-second lapse).AP champions with sustained AoE damage (Cassiopeia, Brand, Malzahar) maintain GW effortlessly \u2014 DoT ticks refresh GW every second.Burst mages (Lux, Orianna) must chain spells within 3 seconds to maintain continuous GW for the 80% threshold.Against Aatrox (3,000 HP) in Arena: threshold = 1,800 HP of healing while under GW \u2192 80% reduction fires \u2192 Aatrox’s Q heals reduced from say 300 to 60 HP per cast.The Arena 90 AP also increases the effective healing being ‘denied’ \u2014 higher AP = larger ability hits that apply GW at a faster rate per second.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf Best Champions for Morellonomicon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morellonomicon is strongest on AP champions and AP-focused supports who deal magic damage consistently and face enemies whose healing is preventing kill completion<\/strong>. The 350 HP makes it particularly relevant for AP champions who need both damage and survivability, not just pure burst mages who can skip HP entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
