  • Biography
  • Story
Something has awoken in Runeterra. Something ancient. Something terrible. The ageless horror known as Fiddlesticks stalks the edges of mortal society, drawn to areas thick with paranoia where it feeds upon terrorized victims. Wielding a jagged scythe, the haggard, makeshift creature reaps fear itself, shattering the minds of those unlucky enough to survive in its wake. Beware the sounding of the crow, or the whispering of the shape that appears almost human… Fiddlesticks has returned.

Long, long ago, in a tower by the edge of the sea, a foolish young mage summoned something into the world that he was not prepared to control. What stepped before the boy was something older than recorded history. Something darker than a yawning, starless night. Something the world had desperately tried to forget—and in an instant, the mage, the creature, and the tower itself were lost to all of time.

At least, that’s what the stories say.

In the Freljord, children frighten each other around the fire with tales of a monster that raises itself from untended graves in the ice, its body a shambling mass of helmets, bucklers, furs, and wood. In Bilgewater, drunken sailors trade accounts of something standing alone on a tiny, distant atoll from which no one has ever returned. An old Targonian legend speaks of how a child of twilight stole the only joy from a ragged, whispering horror, while veteran Noxian soldiers prefer the fable of a lonely farmhand who was blamed for a poor harvest and fed to the crows, later returning to the world as a demon.

Demacia. Ixtal. Piltover. Ionia. Shurima. In every corner of Runeterra, these myths persist—reshaped, respun, and passed down by countless generations of storytellers. Stories of a thing that looks almost human and stalks places thick with fear.

But these are simply fables to frighten young children. No one would ever be afraid of a silly old monster called Fiddlesticks…

Until now.

Something has awoken in the Demacian hinterlands, drawn by the climate of rising fear and paranoia. Rural protectorates, separated from the capital by hundreds of miles of farmland, are emptying in mere days. Travelers vanish from the old footpaths. Guard patrols fail to report back from the edges of the kingdom. And wild-eyed survivors claw at their faces from the safety of roadside taverns, wailing of crows that aren’t crows, sounds that aren’t sounds, and a lopsided horror in the shape of a scarecrow that croaks in the stolen voices of the dead.

Most blame rogue mages. Such accusations are common in these days of rebellion.

Yet the truth is far worse. Something has returned, just as it had in the fictitious tale of the young mage in his seaside tower. An evil gone from the world for numberless centuries—long enough that the warnings of a nascent humanity passed into rumor, then myth, then legend… until all that remained were simple fables. An entity so utterly alien that it defies almost all contemporary knowledge of magic. So impossibly ancient that it has always been. So universally feared that even animals grow nervous when someone speaks its name.

In the wake of this revival, another tale, nearly lost to memory, has seen a resurgence throughout the hinterlands. A legend of a great evil that has no form, no thoughts, and no understanding of the world it inhabits, instead building itself into the crude shape of those that fear it. The terror of all living things, given life in that first terrible scream of creation. A demon before demons were known.

At least, that’s what the stories say.

But Fiddlesticks is real.

"It's hunting us. It knows what we're afraid of."

VOICES
Fiddlesticks Voices
Ten great kings took ten great thrones,

Nine crowns adorned nine heads.
One left to scratch upon their mounds,
The crow, alive and dead.

— old Demacian poem, author unknown

It started when old Hubard, drunk out his mind on stale mead and the dulled memories of some battle he’d probably run from, locked himself in a shack just outside of Goldweald. Davil tried to break the door in, good neighbor as he was, but the miserable fossil had more strength than anyone could have anticipated, bracing his entire body against the entrance as he babbled about heights and spiders and being pecked to death by birds. No one believed the man was being pecked to death by anything but a bottle, so we all went home, assuming, as one does, that with a day to dry out, the ordeal would sort itself.

Took only one night.

First scream ripped across the village like someone had pulled it out of Hubard’s open chest, followed by a second that was almost the same—but worse. It pitched higher, like rusted metal wrapped in burlap, in almost-human words with an almost-human rhythm until the baker’s wife cried, “Mages!” and all hell broke loose. People arming themselves, the mayor—if that's what you could call the head of some hinterlands piss-hole—shooing whoever he could into the meeting hall, windows being boarded up in blind panic, the works. You’ve seen it a hundred times, probably two hundred since the Claw hit up north. Regular folks going mad at the fairest hint of magic.

Point is, that’s around when everything went bad. But there’s a bottom to bad, and what happened in Goldweald broke right past it.

Don’t believe me?

Go for yourself. Goldweald ain’t there anymore.

But I’m skipping ahead, and that ain’t fair to Davil. See, Davil was a spy from back when the Freljord pacifications were still talked about like there was honor in ’em, and he later served the crown as far out as Shurima and the Blue Flame Isles. The man had seen things. We’re lucky out west, since the worst the hinterlands have to offer are some stray raptors after the hatching season, and maybe a sun-cooked bandit or three, but Davil knew what was out there. What could be out there. And he gathered up all the folk who were willing to listen and organized a peasant militia to bring those supposed “mages” to justice.

His plan was simple: First light, we’re all going on patrol, two by two, no one alone. Military stuff, and that gives us hope, gins us all up for a fight. For king and country! Rah-rah Demacia, and all that.

Until the sun comes up and a family’s gone missing.

Every one of them—five in all. Farmhouse torn to shreds, livestock slaughtered in their pens. Doors all locked from the inside, windows all latched. They’re gone. The mayor calls a meeting, but a pair of fieldhands don’t come in from the rows. When Davil calls for them, something calls back. But it isn’t them. Sounds almost like them, like something is forcing words into almost the right shape, but that old, rusty cage sound keeps cutting through, squeaking and rattling and clicking like it can’t help itself.

Now people are afraid. Some hothead charges into the fields with a sword in his hand—gone. Another follows him—gone. Blacksmith gets the wise idea he’ll ride all the way to Amberfel and call the guard, but the horse bucks him halfway down the old trade road and something pulls him into the rows. Davil calls to see if he’s alright, and that awful voice burbles out, saying it’ll take the road to Amberfel and call the guard.

Davil asks again, and it repeats: “I’ll take the old road to Amberfel and call the guard.”

There’s something about it… like a pin twisting inside your head, poking through the meat into something darker underneath. I could see it on everyone’s faces. Folks holding their kids close, backing away toward their homes, some just running. That voice could cut away all the parts of a person and leave ’em naked and afraid, shivering in the middle of a blistering afternoon. Like it was pulling something out of you. Something it wanted.

A little girl says she saw someone standing above the field out where we keep the scarecrow. It’s such an odd thing to notice, and there’s so much going on, that we pay her no mind.

But we should have.

Night comes and half the houses in town are boarded shut. You can hear folks inside whispering, muttering, giggling like maniacs, but about… I’m not sure. Snakes. Lightning. The dark. Walls closing in. Knives. The sea. They’re laughing and they’re screaming and it sounds like everyone has gone insane, like they’re trapped inside a room with a part of themselves they don’t want to face. It sounds like we’re all stuck in a nightmare.

Then the lights start going out. One after the other in all the boarded-up houses, the lamps flicker and die. And the voices melt away, each suddenly silenced, all save for one. Something croaking behind the old smithy. Muttering to itself. About snakes. About lighting. Muttering about the dark.

Davil, that poor fool, takes the militia and goes in. And I… I’m there with him. I have my blade. I have my lantern. But the rows are deep, and the light casts shadows everywhere you look.

I… I don’t know exactly what happened. I saw a face—maybe. Something looking back at me just ahead of Davil, but it was like he saw right past it. Like that face was just there for me. All lopsided, twisted sackcloth and rusted teeth. And behind it… something huge. Splayed out on thin legs, but alive with hundreds of black birds rattling inside an old cage we’d thrown into the woods last year. And eyes. So many eyes.

There’s no one left in Goldweald now. If no one came after me… I’m the only one left. Hearing those screams fade behind me as crimson light poured out from between the corn stalks—that sickly crunching, and the bellowing, tortured squeals of hogs and horses…

And the crows! Hundreds of them—thousands! But crows they aren’t, can’t you see? They’re smoke and fire! They’re not real! They couldn’t be real…

They follow that voice! The deep, rumbling voice beneath it all! Don’t you see? Don’t you

Oh, gods… Davil! I left him behind! I left him there—there in the rows with that horrible scarecrow! Everyone—they’re all dead! Gods, gods, it must have followed me. Once it tastes your fear, once it knows you, it never lets go. It won’t let you go, it won’t—

What’s that voice?

Can anyone hear—

You don’t hear it?

…Davil?

Patch History[]

Patch 10.15

W healing from minions reduced.

Tank Fiddle has been spooking opponents top lane, outperforming other builds (specifically AP Fiddle), and frustrating players who run into it. We don’t want to terrify the tank off the scarecrow, but with Jungle Fiddle being in a good spot, we’re hoping these changes will encourage players to indulge in the bounty of Fiddle as a mage, first and foremost.

Bountiful Harvest W - Bountiful Harvest

HEALING : Reduced [25%] 15% against minions


Patch 10.12
W minion damage reduction increased.

Fiddlesticks reaped more benefits than we’d intended with our last set of buffs, so we’re trimming down his power around minion waves while taking care not to scare him off top lane.

Bountiful Harvest W - Bountiful Harvest

MINION DAMAGE REDUCTION : [40%] 50%


Patch 10.11
Passive Effigy posing time increased. Abilities cast when posing as Effigy now Terrify enemies. W minion damage increased.

Adding what feels like a natural mechanic to Fiddlestick's Q passive to enforce his identity as the scariest scarecrow, while adding some general spookiness to boot. We're also throwing a bone to mid and top Fiddle players by increasing his waveclear since it's a bit hard to function as a laner with his current toolset.

A Harmless Scarecrow Passive - A Harmless Scarecrow

TIME BEFORE EFFIGY POSING : [1] 2 seconds

Terrify Q - Terrify

BRAAIIINS Fiddlesticks' abilities now Terrify enemies if cast while he is posing as an effigy.

Bountiful Harvest W - Bountiful Harvest

MINION DAMAGE REDUCTION : [60%] 40%


Patch 10.9
E damage increased later.

Just because he's a scary scarecrow with a scythe, doesn't mean Fiddlesticks can't be helpful to his buddies in lane. We're giving Fiddlesticks a little extra damage to his primary in-lane-as-a-support ability, so he can more adequately help out his partner in fights.

Reap E - Reap

DAMAGE : [70/100/130/160/190]
70/105/140/175/210


Patch 10.6
The Ancient Fear

The spooky scarecrow is ripping out brains in 10.7. Now with 100% more oogie and boogie.

High-res versions of Fiddlesticks' updated splashes are available on League Displays!


v8.15
E cost increased at early ranks. E base damage decreased.

Fiddlesticks ability to poke (particularly as a support in bot lane) is currently too high.

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

COST : [50/60/70/80/90]
70/75/80/85/90 mana
BASE DAMAGE PER HIT : [65/85/105/125/145]
60/80/100/120/140


v8.9

25 mages have more mana regen and base mana, but less mana growth. 5 other mages have more mana regen.

We’re increasing mana regen on the champions most affected by the changes to Doran's Ring and Last Chapter. Mages are also getting some changes to their mana pools and their mana growth. Overall, they’ll be up a bit of starting mana and mana regen, but be substantially down on mana per level.


v8.4
E cooldown decreased at early ranks. E bonus damage to monsters increased; bonus damage to minions removed. R cooldown decreased.

League's original mage jungler isn't doing so well, and could use some love.

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

COOLDOWN : [12/11.5/11/10.5/10]
10 at all ranks
BONUS DAMAGE TO MONSTERS : [50%] 100%
BONUS DAMAGE TO MINIONS Dark Wind no longer deals bonus damage to minions

Crowstorm R - Crowstorm

COOLDOWN : [150/140/130]
140/110/80


v7.22

BASE ARMOR : [20.88] 30


v7.9

With Aegis of the Legion's old aura out of the game, squishy champions who were relying on it to give them enough magic resist find themselves a bit on the burstable side.

HOORAY : Champions who previously gained no magic resist per level now gain 0.5 per level


v7.6
Q cast range increased. W refunds its remaining duration when its target dies.

Fiddlesticks has been having a rough time clearing camps since pre-season’s updates - particularly the raptors. While Dark Wind is a solid AoE tool, it’s the only one Fiddle’s got, so after he’s Drained the Crimson Raptor, he’s left with nothing but basic attacks to slap the remaining little birds with. We’re giving him the option of chain-Draining the chicken nuggets (and other small monsters, like the smaller Krugs), provided he’s got the mana to do so.

On a completely separate note, we’re reverting last mid-season’s change to Terrify’s cast range. Our thinking back then was that if Terrify had a lower cast range than Drain, Fiddlesticks would get better mileage out of his Terrify-Drain combo since his target wouldn’t be forced out of tether range as quickly. What ended up happening is that trying to quickly execute the combo only worked if Fiddle was already in Terrify range - otherwise, his attempt to walk up would immediately be overwritten by Drain. This is equally - if not more - problematic than the original interaction, so we’re giving our scarecrow his 50 cast range back. Caw Caw.

Terrify Q - Terrify

CAST RANGE : [525] 575

Drain W - Drain

I CAN CAST IT TWICE?! If Drain’s target dies before the channel completes, the remaining duration is applied as cooldown reduction


v6.24
W damage increased early. E cooldown reduced.

The new jungle hasn’t been kind to Fiddlesticks, who’s lost a lot of clearing speed against buff camps and Krugs. We’re giving him back some jungling efficiency in the early game, though it’s still safe to say the new jungle’s shifted some of Fid’s clearing strength from Dark Wind to Drain.

Drain W - Drain

DAMAGE PER TICK : [60/90/120/150/180] 80/105/130/155/180
BUFF-FIX : Fixed a bug that caused Drain to not apply its final tick of damage

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

COOLDOWN : [15/14/13/12/11] 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds


v6.10
E bounces down. More scarecrow.

After a season in the shadows, Fiddlesticks is back with a vengeance following his spooky update. This patch is nothing complicated - we’re going to keep our eye as Fiddle continues to harbinge doom all over the place, but the clearing and dueling potential from Dark Wind was simply too high.

General

SPOOKY After 5 seconds of not moving, Fiddlesticks will become a scarecrow

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

NUMBER OF BOUNCES : [7] 6


v6.9

Fiddlesticks is a special type of immobile: he actually has to stand still to use some of his abilities, leaving him slow to respond when team fights move away from him. By giving him the tools to go with the flow as the fight moves around, we’re sharpening his role as an explosive fight-starter, surprise party enthusiast, and spooky scary... scarecrow. This also gives us room to dial back on some of the more binary parts of Fiddle’s kit, like his long-ranged fear or his permadrain. The result is a more interactive Fiddlesticks who’s better able to position himself to make plays.

Dread Passive - Dread

SCARECROW : Fiddlesticks gains Dread after not moving for 1.5 seconds. Immobilizing crowd control resets this timer. If Fiddlesticks has Dread, moving causes him to gain bonus movement speed.
DURATION : 1.5 seconds
MOVEMENT SPEED : 25/30/35/40% (at levels 1/6/11/16)

Terrify Q - Terrify

RANGE : [575] 525

Drain W - Drain

COOLDOWN : [10/9/8/7/6 seconds] 4/3.75/3.5/3.25/3 seconds
DRAINED : Cooldown now begins at the end of Drain’s channel

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

NUMBER OF BOUNCES : [5] 7
TARGETING : Now prioritizes Drain targets

Crowstorm R - Crowstorm

CLOSE ENOUGH : Will cast at maximum range if cast out of range
STAND HERE FOR DEATH : Now uses the ‘On My Way!’ Ping


v6.1
Dark Wind mana cost down.

Let's be clear, this is a small buff. We're fairly certain that Runic Echoes will benefit Fiddlesticks, but we also wanted to give this old-school kit (with those massive mana costs) a small bump in the right direction. This will probably help out Middlesticks or Supportlesticks (we stretched for that one) more than Junglesticks, but at least this offers an alternative leveling path for those who want to bounce around.

Dark Wind E - Dark Wind

Cost : [50/70/90/110/130 mana] 50/60/70/80/90 mana


v5.22

In a world without mana potions (and generally less early mana regeneration), we've identified a few champions for some emergency rations, giving early mana boosts until they can get their footing and purchase items to make up the deficit. This also means we can really understand which champions relied on mana potions as a crutch to limp through the early to mid game, and we can give additional love if necessary.

Mana

The following champs have +50 base mana and -3 mana scaling (net -1 mana at level 18):


v5.3 Drain's Tether range is lower.

"Drain's mechanics are simple - break the tether and you're good. Stay around, and risk losing a duel to a stick figure. Fiddlesticks can still lock you down with Terrify to ensure his success, but lowering Tether's range makes sure enemies can actually escape when he fails to scare them good and proper. "
  • Drain W - Drain
    • TETHER RANGE : 700 650

Mass Texture Rebalance (Part 7)

"We're continuing our comprehensive pass at the game's older character textures. As with previous installments, our goal is to improve parity with newer releases and make sure everybody looks at home on the newly-updated Rift. "

v4.21
Dread now applies on things Fiddle interacts with, as opposed to a broad area of effect. Dark Wind no longer silences the same target multiple times but will try to prioritize new targets as it bounces along.

"Terror's always kind of been Fiddle's thing, and he's certainly a pretty big one (terror, that is) given the current jungle environment. With that in mind, we're looking to drain some of his less-clear power and add more consistency (for him and opponents)."
  • Dread Passive - Dread
    • [NEW] FOCUS FEAR : Dealing magic damage or casting Terrify applies Dread to enemies for 2.5 seconds, reducing their magic resistance by 10
    • [REMOVED] NOT SO GREAT AT PARTIES : Fiddlesticks no longer applies Dread to all enemy units within 800 range
  • Dark Wind E - Dark Wind
    • [NEW] BOUNCE ALL DAY : Now prioritizes targets not yet hit by Dark Wind
    • [REMOVED] CRAZY LONG SILENCES : Dark Wind can still hit targets multiple times, but it will now only silence them once
    • SILENCE DURATION : 1.2 seconds 1.25 seconds

v4.19
CAW CAW CAW!

  • Crowstorm R - Crowstorm
    • CAW CAW CAW : Fixed a bug where rapidly spamming a basic ability at the very end of Crowstorm's channel sometimes caused that ability to go on cooldown without casting or appearing to be on cooldown in the HUD

v4.15 We're fixing a bug with Fiddlesticks that got introduced in 4.14 where his drain would occasionally break by one tick.

"It's important to note that the Drain bug introduced in 4.14 was cutting off only one or two drain ticks if the opponent ran away to break the tether. It's not to say that this was a light issue (it was definitely a power reduction and an awkward 'feel' change for Fiddlesticks masters), but we just wanted to clarify the impact this had. To fix this, we actually re-coded certain aspects of Drain, but it should feel the same as 4.14."
  • Drain W - Drain
    • A VERY ODD BUG Fixed a bug where Fiddlesticks' Drain tether would occasionally snap prematurely if an opponent moved out of a specific range within a certain window of time. The below two changes should maintain the old Fiddlesticks Drain feeling of pre-4.13, but since we've re-scripted parts of the ability (to fix the bug), we figured we should document it.
    • DRAIN TETHER RANGE Drain's tether now has a range of 750 ⇒ 800
    • DRAIN REFRESH RATE Drain now updates every 0.5 seconds ⇒ 0.25 seconds (overall damage remains unchanged)

v4.5
"Did you know that when Fiddlesticks hides in a bush and you don't have vision of him, he can still affect you with Dread? Astute players knew this and learned to watch for his debuff, which made Fiddlesticks sad. We fixed that so Fiddlesticks wouldn't be so sad."

  • Dread Passive - Dread
    • UTILITY: No longer affects champions who cannot see Fiddlesticks

v4.3
In addition to the Terrify changes, we’ve increased Drain’s cast range.

  • Terrify Q - Terrify
    • UTILITY: Affected units run around in fear ⇒ Affected units now run away from Fiddlesticks with impaired movement
  • Drain W - Drain
    • CAST RANGE: 475 ⇒ 575 (tether range remains at 750)

v4.1
This is a change we’re planning to make with more testing, but it went out accidentally and we’re reverting it for now.

  • Terrify Q - Terrify
    • Fixed a bug where Terrify would cause enemies to flee in a straight line, rather than in random directions

v3.15
Summary: We've reduced the duration of Terrify at later ranks and lowered the mana cost of both Terrify and Crowstorm.

"Terrify is rather… terrifying at later levels, especially with the current pace of the game. That said, we didn't want to straight nerf Fiddle's power without any compensation. Cutting down his mana costs means that Fiddle can stay out in the field a little longer (especially after team fights), while the slight buff to Terrify's rank 1 duration helps his unstable early game."

  • Q - Terrify
    • Duration reduced at later ranks to 1.25/1.50/1.75/2.00/2.25 seconds (from 1.00/1.50/2.00/2.50/3.00 seconds)
    • Mana cost reduced to 65 at all ranks (from 65/75/85/95/105)
  • R - Crowstorm
    • Mana cost reduced to 100 at all ranks (from 150/200/250)
