Overview[]

Clarity is a 'non-targeted' Summoner Spell only available on ARAM. This spell instantly restores a portion of mana for yourself and half for all nearby allied champions.

Strategy[]

Clarity is best taken in teams where most, if not all, champions are mana based. Usually this spell is taken by a mana-hungry champion that needs to compensate with low base mana/mana regen (eg. Malphite), or focuses on aggressive play by spamming their skills (eg. Ryze).

Patch History[]

v6.12

Cooldown reduced. Restores more mana to the caster but less to nearby allies.

With extra summoner spell cooldown coming to Howling Abyss, we’re looking to keep Clarity from going off the rails in terms of the mana that it provides to an entire team. These large infusions of mana disproportionately benefit already-powerful poke compositions, so we’re focusing Clarity on filling your own mana pool rather than your ally’s.

COOLDOWN : [180 seconds] ⇒ 144 seconds

SELF MANA RESTORE : [40% maximum mana ] ⇒ 50% maximum mana

ALLY MANA RESTORE : [40% maximum mana ] ⇒ 25% maximum mana

v5.22
no tears, only dreams

Simply put, these Summoners were caught in a space where they'd either never be picked or be too powerful to not pick, given the tuning (hint: it was always the former). As such, keeping these spells around served as a trap for those poor, unfortunate souls who took them, so we're laying them to rest. Say hey to Fortify, Promote and Surge for us.
