Trinity Force<\/strong> is a Legendary Fighter\/Marksman item<\/strong> costing 3333 gold<\/strong> providing +36 Attack Damage<\/strong>, +15 Ability Haste<\/strong>, +30% Attack Speed<\/strong>, and +333 Health<\/strong>. Its passive SPELLBLADE<\/strong> makes the next basic attack within 10 seconds after using any ability deal 200% base AD as bonus physical damage on-hit<\/strong> with a 1.5-second cooldown that starts after the empowered attack fires \u2014 and consecutive ability casts refresh the 10-second window<\/strong>, not reset the cooldown. QUICKEN grants +20 movement speed for 2 seconds per basic attack on-hit<\/strong>. Trinity Force belongs to the SPELLBLADE item family<\/strong> (limited to 1 SPELLBLADE per player \u2014 shared with Sheen, Iceborn Gauntlet, Lich Bane, Essence Reaver, Divine Sunderer). It is the defining first item for ability-weaving fighters and on-hit marksmen<\/strong> who deal damage through alternating ability use and basic attacks \u2014 champions whose playstyle naturally creates ability-cast \u2192 auto \u2192 ability-cast \u2192 auto weaving at high frequency. The critical distinction from other SPELLBLADE items: Trinity Force is designed for physical AD fighters who use ability haste to maximize SPELLBLADE fire rate<\/strong>, not AP mages (Lich Bane) or tank divers (Iceborn Gauntlet). Removed Masterwork upgrades were Infinity Force<\/strong> and Trinity Fusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinity Force<\/strong> is a Legendary-tier<\/strong> item available on Summoner’s Rift (5v5)<\/strong>, ARAM<\/strong>, Nexus Blitz<\/strong>, and Arena<\/strong>. Categorized under Fighter<\/strong>, Marksman<\/strong>, Attack Damage<\/strong>, and Attack Speed<\/strong> menus. ID 3078<\/strong>. Limited to 1 SPELLBLADE item<\/strong> per player. Sell value: 2333.1 gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The Base AD Scaling \u2014 Why Level Matters More Than Items: <\/strong>SPELLBLADE deals 200% of BASE AD as bonus damage<\/strong> \u2014 not bonus AD, not total AD, specifically base AD. Base AD is the AD a champion naturally has from their stats and level progression, independent of items. At level 18, a fighter like Irelia has approximately 113 base AD<\/strong>: SPELLBLADE deals 200% \u00d7 113 = 226 bonus physical damage<\/strong> per proc. At level 9 with ~85 base AD: SPELLBLADE deals ~170 bonus damage. The damage scales directly with champion level and champion-specific base AD growth<\/strong>, not with AD items. Adding Black Cleaver’s 40 bonus AD does not increase SPELLBLADE damage by 1 point \u2014 but gaining 5 levels increases it by 10\u201320 damage per proc. This is why Trinity Force is strongest on champions with high base AD per level<\/strong> and is bought as a first item where leveling during the early-mid game maximizes SPELLBLADE’s scaling window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 AH Directly Converts to SPELLBLADE DPS: <\/strong>SPELLBLADE has a 1.5-second cooldown that starts after the empowered attack fires \u2014 the theoretical maximum SPELLBLADE fire rate is once every 1.5 seconds<\/strong>. Achieving this maximum requires casting an ability every 1.5 seconds<\/strong>. Higher Ability Haste shortens every ability cooldown, enabling more frequent ability casts within 1.5-second windows. At 15 AH (Trinity Force alone), base ability CDs are reduced by approximately 13% \u2014 an ability with a 4-second base CD is now 3.5 seconds. At 40 AH total, the same ability is at 2.86 seconds. Champions whose primary abilities have short cooldowns (Irelia Q reset chain at sub-2-second intervals, Camille Q double-strike at 3\u20134 seconds, Corki W at regular intervals) approach the 1.5-second SPELLBLADE ceiling with Trinity Force + additional AH sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 133g Combine Cost \u2014 The Most Component-Efficient Legendary: <\/strong>Trinity Force has the lowest combine cost of any Legendary item in the game<\/strong> at only 133 gold. This means the three components (Sheen + Phage + Hearthbound Axe) are valued at essentially full price \u2014 nearly no gold is lost to the combine penalty. The implication: completing the three components in any order provides maximum value per gold<\/strong>, and switching between components based on gold amounts at each back wastes almost nothing. The 133g combine is purely cosmetic \u2014 pay it when all three components are held and full Trinity Force is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Component Priority by Lane Phase: <\/strong>The three components serve different early functions: Sheen (900g)<\/strong> is the priority first component for champions who have at least one ability with a short cooldown, providing the SPELLBLADE effect at low cost and enabling kill pressure from level 6 onwards. Phage (1100g)<\/strong> provides HP + AD for lane survivability when the matchup involves trading HP. Hearthbound Axe (1200g)<\/strong> is correct first when attack speed immediately changes the trading pattern (Irelia’s Q reset frequency, Camille’s E engage speed). Most trinity fighters default to Sheen first unless the specific trade pattern demands HP or AS more urgently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFFECT: <\/strong>After using any ability, the next basic attack within 10 seconds deals 200% base AD as additional bonus physical damage on-hit<\/strong>. The 1.5-second cooldown begins after the empowered attack fires<\/strong> \u2014 not when the ability is cast. Consecutive ability casts refresh the 10-second window without resetting the cooldown. SPELLBLADE is proc damage that does not trigger spell effects, is unaffected by critical strike modifiers, and benefits from life steal, omnivamp, and physical vamp (but not spell vamp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The Cooldown Starts on Attack, Not Ability Cast: <\/strong>This timing distinction is central to the item’s design and frequently misunderstood. Casting an ability does not<\/strong> start the 1.5-second cooldown \u2014 the cooldown begins when the empowered attack lands<\/strong>. This means: cast ability \u2192 10-second window opens \u2192 cast second ability (window refreshes, no CD reset needed) \u2192 10-second window refreshes \u2192 auto with SPELLBLADE \u2192 1.5-second CD begins now<\/strong>. In a Q \u2192 W \u2192 auto \u2192 Q \u2192 auto rotation, the second auto can fire SPELLBLADE again 1.5 seconds after the first auto, as long as Q’s CD has resolved before that window. Champions with 2-second ability cooldowns can theoretically fire SPELLBLADE on every auto in an extended fight sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 SPELLBLADE vs Spell Shield \u2014 The Nuanced Interaction: <\/strong>The spell shield interaction depends on how SPELLBLADE is applied<\/strong>: if applied by a basic attack<\/strong>, spell shields do NOT block it \u2014 the SPELLBLADE damage fires through the shield. If the SPELLBLADE effect is instead applied by an ability that triggers on-hit effects<\/strong> (like Irelia’s Q, which counts as an ability but also triggers on-hit), the spell shield blocks SPELLBLADE in that delivery context. In practice, the majority of SPELLBLADE procs are on standard basic attacks after ability use, making spell shield bypass the common outcome. The edge case is abilities that simultaneously count as on-hit triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f SPELLBLADE Cannot Crit and Crits Don’t Amplify It: <\/strong>Critical strike chance and crit damage modifiers have zero interaction with SPELLBLADE<\/strong>. A crit auto that fires SPELLBLADE deals: the crit physical damage (base + bonus AD \u00d7 crit modifier) PLUS the SPELLBLADE flat proc (200% base AD) as two separate damage events. The SPELLBLADE component is always 200% base AD regardless of whether the auto critically strikes. Infinity Edge’s crit damage bonus does not amplify SPELLBLADE. Building crit items alongside Trinity Force does not increase SPELLBLADE’s contribution \u2014 the crit investment and SPELLBLADE scale completely independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNIQUE Passive \u2014 QUICKEN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Parameter<\/strong><\/td>Value<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Effect<\/td>+20 bonus movement speed for 2 seconds per basic attack on-hit<\/td><\/tr>
Trigger<\/td>Each basic attack on-hit<\/td><\/tr>
Duration<\/td>2 seconds per application<\/td><\/tr>
Refresh<\/td>Each new basic attack resets the 2-second timer<\/td><\/tr>
Combat Pattern<\/td>Sustained attack speed = near-permanent QUICKEN MS during fights<\/td><\/tr>
Value at High AS<\/td>30% AS from Trinity Force = more frequent attacks = more reliable QUICKEN uptime<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EFFECT: <\/strong>Each basic attack on-hit grants +20 bonus movement speed for 2 seconds<\/strong>. Every new basic attack refreshes the 2-second timer. At Trinity Force’s +30% attack speed, the carrier attacks frequently enough to maintain QUICKEN’s 20 MS bonus as a near-permanent buff during extended combat sequences. The sustained MS makes kiting significantly easier against melee opponents trying to walk away from the fight \u2014 the Trinity Force carrier stays on top of retreating targets through QUICKEN’s constant refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
