What is Nashor’s Tooth? \ud83e\uddb7<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nashor’s Tooth is a legendary hybrid item<\/strong> bridging the Marksman, Mage, Attack Speed, On-Hit Effects, Ability Power, and Ability Haste categories. It is the defining AP on-hit item<\/strong> in League of Legends \u2014 providing +80 AP, +15 AH, and +50% AS alongside an on-hit magic damage passive that scales directly with AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICATHIAN BITE’s 15 + 15% AP magic damage on-hit<\/strong> means every basic attack is simultaneously an AP scaling damage event. At 400 AP, every auto deals 15 + 60 = 75 bonus magic damage on-hit \u2014 before considering resistances. Champions who weave auto attacks between AP ability casts (Cassiopeia<\/strong><\/a>, Azir<\/strong><\/a>, Kayle<\/strong><\/a>, Kog’Maw<\/strong><\/a>) receive compounding value from both the AP abilities and the AP on-hit simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2,900 Gold<\/strong>, it’s priced between Rabadon’s Deathcap<\/strong><\/a> (3,500g) and Riftmaker<\/strong><\/a> (2,900g). Sell price: 2,030 Gold<\/strong>. ID: 3115. Available on SR 5v5, ARAM, Nexus Blitz, and Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Fiendish Codex \u2014 The Strongest Mid-Item on AP Attack Speed Champions<\/strong>Fiendish Codex (850g) provides AP + AH \u2014 both stats relevant on Nashor’s Tooth champions.First back: Amplifying Tome (400g) \u2192 provides early AP for scaling.Second back: complete Fiendish Codex (850g) \u2192 AH immediately reduces key ability CDs.Lich Bane<\/strong><\/a>, Rabadon’s Deathcap<\/strong><\/a>, and Void Staff<\/strong><\/a> all build from Blasting Wand \u2014 Nashor’s Tooth competes for the same component at 850g, so buying Blasting Wand early keeps both paths open.The 500g combine is among the lowest in the game \u2014 completing from all three components in one back is achievable at modest gold totals.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddb7 ICATHIAN BITE \u2014 Complete Mechanics Reference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What ICATHIAN BITE Is and Is Not<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ICATHIAN BITE deals proc damage<\/strong> \u2014 specifically magic damage on-hit classified as proc damage rather than spell damage. This single classification determines all of its interaction behavior with other game mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanic<\/strong><\/td>ICATHIAN BITE Behavior<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Damage type<\/td>Magic damage \u2014 on-hit, proc damage category<\/td><\/tr>
Triggers spell effects?<\/td>NO \u2014 proc damage does not trigger spell effects (no Lich Bane spellblade proc, no Electrocute spell threshold etc.)<\/td><\/tr>
Applies to structures?<\/td>NO \u2014 on-hit damage does not apply to towers, inhibitors, or Nexus<\/td><\/tr>
Benefits from life steal?<\/td>YES \u2014 bonus magic damage from ICATHIAN BITE applies to life steal calculations<\/td><\/tr>
Benefits from magic penetration?<\/td>YES \u2014 magic penetration and void staff reduce target MR, increasing ICATHIAN BITE damage<\/td><\/tr>
Benefits from AP?<\/td>YES \u2014 15% AP scaling; more AP = more ICATHIAN BITE damage per auto<\/td><\/tr>
Benefits from on-hit amplifiers?<\/td>Depends on amplifier \u2014 on-hit damage amplifiers (Wit’s End, Guinsoo’s Rageblade) amplify ICATHIAN BITE<\/td><\/tr>
Applies to jungle camps?<\/td>YES \u2014 works on all non-structure, non-plant targets<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u26a0\ufe0f ICATHIAN BITE Is Proc Damage \u2014 NOT Spell Damage<\/strong>Proc damage = on-hit damage classified separately from both basic attack damage and spell damage.Does NOT trigger Electrocute from the rune (requires 3 spell\/ability hits).Does NOT trigger Lich Bane’s Spellblade (requires casting an ability, not proc damage).Does NOT activate spell effect items that require a spell cast to proc.DOES interact with on-hit amplifiers like Guinsoo’s Rageblade (which amplifies on-hit effects) and Wit’s End.DOES benefit from life steal \u2014 the magic on-hit damage feeds life steal recovery.DOES scale with magic penetration from Void Staff, Shadowflame, and sorcerer’s shoes.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ICATHIAN BITE + AP Scaling Champions \u2014 Why It Compounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The power loop: AP items increase AP \u2192 AP amplifies ICATHIAN BITE on-hit damage \u2192 Rabadon’s Deathcap<\/strong><\/a>‘s MAGICAL OPUS multiplies the AP total \u2192 ICATHIAN BITE scales with the amplified AP total. Every AP item that increases total AP simultaneously increases ICATHIAN BITE’s per-auto damage. Items like Riftmaker<\/strong><\/a>, Shadowflame<\/strong><\/a>, and Rylai’s Crystal Scepter<\/strong><\/a> all provide AP that feeds both ability damage AND ICATHIAN BITE simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICATHIAN BITE’s damage also benefits from magic penetration<\/strong>. Void Staff<\/strong><\/a>‘s 40% magic penetration, Shadowflame<\/strong><\/a>‘s CINDERBLOOM execute penetration, and Sorcerer’s Shoes’ flat magic pen all reduce the target’s effective MR against ICATHIAN BITE’s magic damage \u2014 stacking penetration improves both ability and on-hit damage simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICATHIAN BITE + Guinsoo’s Rageblade Interaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guinsoo’s Rageblade applies on-hit effects twice every third attack (WRATH passive). ICATHIAN BITE is an on-hit effect \u2014 every third attack fires ICATHIAN BITE twice. This doubles the per-attack ICATHIAN BITE damage on every third auto. On champions like Kog’Maw<\/strong><\/a> who build Guinsoo’s Rageblade<\/strong><\/a>, the Nashor’s Tooth + Rageblade combination creates a compounding on-hit magic damage loop that scales with AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arena adjusts all base stats down slightly but buffs ICATHIAN BITE’s AP ratio from 15% to 20% AP. <\/strong>At 300 AP in Arena: 15 + (20% \u00d7 300) = 15 + 60 = 75 damage per auto \u2014 identical to SR’s 400 AP output. At 400 AP in Arena: 15 + 80 = 95 damage per auto vs SR’s 75. The 20% ratio makes ICATHIAN BITE significantly stronger per AP in Arena than SR, partially offsetting the reduced base AP (70 vs 80). Champions who reach high AP totals in Arena extract disproportionate ICATHIAN BITE value from the improved ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf Best Champions for Nashor’s Tooth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nashor’s Tooth is strongest on AP champions who weave basic attacks between ability casts<\/strong> \u2014 specifically those whose auto-attack patterns are baked into their kit design (Kayle<\/strong><\/a>, Azir<\/strong><\/a>, Teemo<\/strong><\/a>) or who build high AP totals that amplify ICATHIAN BITE’s on-hit damage to meaningful per-auto values (Kog’Maw<\/strong><\/a>, Cassiopeia<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
