What is Opportunity? \ud83c\udfaf<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opportunity is a legendary Assassin item<\/strong> in League of Legends, categorized under Assassin, Attack Damage, Armor Penetration, and Movement. It provides +55 AD and +18 Lethality<\/strong> as its base stats alongside two passives built around the out-of-combat engage window that defines assassination patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The item sits in a crowded lethality item pool alongside Edge of Night<\/strong><\/a>, Youmuu’s Ghostblade<\/strong><\/a>, Voltaic Cyclosword<\/strong><\/a>, and The Collector<\/strong><\/a>. What distinguishes Opportunity is PREPARATION’s out-of-combat lethality bonus<\/strong> \u2014 a conditional lethality buff that rewards assassins who approach from stealth or extended distance before engaging, and EXTRACTION’s 200 MS escape burst<\/strong> after securing a kill within the 3-second damage window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2,700 Gold<\/strong>, it’s slightly more expensive than Edge of Night<\/strong><\/a> (2,900g) and comparable to Youmuu’s Ghostblade<\/strong><\/a> (2,700g). Sell price: 1,890 Gold<\/strong>. ID: 6701. Available on SR 5v5, ARAM, Nexus Blitz, and Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Serrated Dirk \u2014 Best Assassin Mid-Item Before Completion<\/strong>Serrated Dirk (1,000g) is the strongest lethality mid-item in the game \u2014 +30 AD and +10 Lethality in one component.Buy Serrated Dirk as the first major component \u2014 it provides meaningful lethality spike that matters for first-blood windows.Youmuu’s Ghostblade<\/strong><\/a>, Edge of Night<\/strong><\/a>, and The Collector<\/strong><\/a> also build from Serrated Dirk \u2014 the choice of final item determines which passive best fits the build pattern.475g combine makes Opportunity one of the cheapest completions from Serrated Dirk \u2014 hold the Dirk and complete to Opportunity on first viable gold window.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u26a1 Passive Mechanics \u2014 PREPARATION & EXTRACTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PREPARATION \u2014 Out-of-Combat Lethality Bonus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PREPARATION grants 11 (+5) lethality<\/strong> after being out-of-combat with enemy champions for 8 seconds<\/strong>. This bonus remains active for 3 seconds after dealing damage<\/strong> to an enemy champion \u2014 creating a brief window during the initial combat engagement where the extra lethality is still applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total lethality when PREPARATION is fully active: 18 (base) + 11 = 29 lethality<\/strong>. At champion level 18, lethality provides approximately 1:1 armor penetration \u2014 29 lethality converts to approximately 29 flat armor penetration at level 18<\/strong> against targets with no bonus armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f PREPARATION Combat Timer Bug \u2014 Important Mechanic<\/strong>PREPARATION’s out-of-combat timer resets from dealing damage to ANY unit \u2014 not just enemy champions.This means attacking a minion, jungle camp, ward, or tower resets the 8-second timer, preventing PREPARATION from activating.The HUD cooldown display ALSO fails to show this timer reset \u2014 so the displayed timer is inaccurate when non-champion damage occurs.Practical implication: do NOT last-hit minions or attack wards in the 8 seconds before engaging an enemy champion \u2014 it resets PREPARATION.Approach ganks and kills by walking toward the target without attacking anything for 8 seconds \u2014 then PREPARATION activates fully for the kill window.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EXTRACTION \u2014 Post-Takedown Movement Speed Burst<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EXTRACTION triggers when a takedown is secured against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them<\/strong>. On trigger: gain 200 bonus movement speed decaying over 1.5 seconds<\/strong>. This creates an escape window immediately after the kill \u2014 the speed burst allows rapid repositioning away from the dead target’s teammates before they can react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
