- On-hit Damage: 140-310 (80% for ranged) ⇒ 150-200 (80% for ranged)
Kraken Slayer was retooled to be an early game gambit: If ADCs wanted to skip out on crit chance and lower their three-item DPS, they could pick up Kraken instead for some early priority. Turns out the opportunity cost of skipping Kraken is too high and it's too strong for these champions. We're lowering Kraken's damage for ranged users specifically and reducing the degree to which they can permanently keep melee champions at harpoon's reach.
- Move Speed: 7% ⇒ 5%
- Bring it Down: 140-310 ⇒ 80% effectiveness for ranged champions (112-248)
Kraken Slayer is getting a significant change as well. It's no longer a crit item, and instead being focused entirely on the on-hit side of things. It'll still be a strong contender as an early purchase but won't be able to provide all of the desired stats right away.

Crit marksmen are dealing too much magic damage in long engagements, so we're switching Kraken Slayer to deal physical damage instead of magic. Because champions all have more armor than magic resist, this necessitates increasing its numbers just to keep it power-neutral. In addition, we're looking to buff Kraken Slayer slightly. Now Kraken will deal more damage to minions in all contexts and typically deal more damage to champions after building some form of armor penetration. Otherwise, the numbers should be pretty similar against most targets. One final note: Because more of its damage is coming from base damage, low-AD builds like Rageblade on-hit builds are even more buffed here, where the item is severely underperforming.
- Damage Type: Magic ⇒ Physical
- Change: 20 (+60% AD) (+45% AP) ⇒ 35-85 (levels 8-18) (+65% AD) (+60% AP)
Kraken Slayer went through several iterations finding its new home as a Legendary item before landing on this version. Ultimately, Kraken is meant to be an incredible early item for high attack speed champions that still holds up late. Its damage ramping up against a target helps it retain a bit of that anti-tank flavor, but make no mistake: it’s no replacement for Lord Dominik’s Regards for tank-busting.
- NEW Tier Change: Mythic Tier ⇒ Legendary Tier
- Total Cost: 3400 ⇒ 3000
- Item Recipe: Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Pickaxe + 625 gold ⇒ Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Recurve Bow + 400 Gold
- Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 40
- Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 30%
- Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
- NEW Unique Passive - Bring It Down: Every third Attack applies 20 + 60% Total AD + 45% AP bonus magic damage. Subsequent triggers on the same target within 6 seconds increases this damage by 50% (Up to a maximum of 100% increased damage).
Kraken Slayer has naturally gone up with extended combat times, so we're tapping down on its third-stack bonus, too.
