Phantom Dancer is getting a stat facelift focusing on attack speed and movement speed. It'll serve its purpose as a really strong way to multiple other sources of damage scaling.

- Total Gold Cost: 2800 Gold ⇒ 2600 Gold
- Move Speed: 10% ⇒ 12%

Reverting Phantom Dancer back to build out of Zeal again like it always used to.

- Unique Passive - Spectral Waltz: Basic attacks on-attack grant ghosting, 7% bonus movement speed, and a stack of Spectral Waltz for 3 seconds, up to 4 stacks. While at 4 stacks, gain 30% bonus attack speed. ⇒ Attacks grant Ghosting and a stack of 7% Attack Speed up to 5 stacks (Maximum 35% Attack Speed) for 3 seconds
Phantom Dancer is underperforming compared to other mid-range crit items so it's just receiving a small buff this patch.
- Attack Speed: 30% ⇒ 35%
In an effort to make window shopping more intuitive for crit users, Phantom Dancer has been increased to 2800 gold with a small stat increase to go alongside it.
- Total Cost: 2600 ⇒ 2800
- Item Recipe: Long Sword + Zeal + Long Sword + 850 gold ⇒ Hearthbound Axe + Zeal + 600 gold
- Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 30%
Phantom Dancer generally underperforms, especially early on. We’re putting it on discount and throwing in a utility boost to make it a more appealing early pick-up.
Patch 10.23
No longer has Lifeline. Grants Ghosting, movement speed, and bonus attack speed after consecutive attacks.
Phantom Dancer's defensive niche has been claimed by Immortal Shieldbow, so we're returning Phantom Dancer to its previous purpose as the highest attack and movement speed of the Zeal items. Its new passive emphasizes that Phantom Dancer is a top-tier choice when you can stand and fire in extended fights.
Base Stats
Effects
The marksman class has major durability problems, especially in the early laning phase where their power feels heavily reliant on their supports. This has been causing issues in gameplay satisfaction since a marksman's strength relies on the length of time they're alive. By increasing their mobility (via items) and base health, we feel that ADCs won't be punished so aggressively when they fail and will still have a chance to bounce back and unlock their power in fights. That being said, we've heard your concerns about the bot lane marksman champions that can also solo lane like Lucian and Vayne. We're giving them a separate set of changes which you can find more details on below. We’ve also omitted Corki, Kindred, Quinn, Senna, and Graves due to having their primary playrate in other lanes, with the understanding that Senna may be considered for similar changes in the coming patches.
Patch 9.3
Now grants a shield at low health but no longer decreases damage from the last champion you hit. Spectral Waltz now triggers on attack rather than proximity to an enemy champion.
Existing defensive options for crit marksmen (Maw of Malmortius, Guardian Angel, Mercurial Scimitar) set users far enough behind on core damage builds that they can't contribute carry-level damage in fights even though they're living longer. We're making Phantom Dancer a defensive option that fits more smoothly into crit builds.
| BUILD PATH : | Dagger + Zeal + | [Dagger + 800 gold] | |
| ⇒ | Brawler's Gloves + 700 gold (Zeal's cost has decreased by 100 gold) |
| SPECTRAL WALTZ : | Grants unit passthrough and 7% movement speed | [while within 550 range of a visible enemy champion] | |
| ⇒ | for 2 sec after basic attacking a champion |
v8.15
Gold cost decreased
Phantom Dancer
Phantom Dancer’s already doing its own thing pretty well, so we’re adjusting costs to match the other Zeal upgrades and calling it a day.
v6.3
Cost down.
Phantom Dancer was supposed to be more expensive relative to the other Zeal upgrades because of its extreme dueling/damage potential. As it turns out, having to do the extra work to access that damage potential (unlike Statikk or RFC) on top of being harder to build ended being a pretty big miss. In light of this, we're pulling back on the cost so would-be duelists of all shapes and sizes can buy their item and use it too.
v6.1
Shifted movement speed from Spectral Waltz to base movement speed.
Phantom Dancer's intended niche as an item that enables you to seek out and duel champions is betrayed by losing Zeal's movement speed upon upgrading it. We'd still like it to stay on the lower end when not hunting down dance partners, but giving back some strategic movement speed should keep it more than just a phantom.
v5.24
More attack speed.
Compared to its Zeal brethren, Phantom Dancer’s danced its way out of inventories in favor of newer, shinier Zeal items ever since preseason. While PD could stand to get more power, this is just a love tap - we’ve got more in store for the once-great crit item, but we’re waiting to see the effect of the Energized items not stacking damage before we get too hasty.
Zeal and all of its items cost more.
We don’t want to delay marksmen from participating in the game for too long, but their ‘1.5 item power spike’ is presently pushing them over the edge. Zeal’s newfound cost-efficiency is one of the culprits of this early-midgame bump, so we’re taking a little off the top to keep the pacing and power-growth of marksmen one that all can keep up with.
Damage from Kircheis Shard, Statikk Shiv and Rapid Firecannon no longer stack (effects still do).
As sweet as it is to chain-lightning from a million range, it’s clear that the damage from that combination is too high for the safety. We’re keeping the ability for you to stack the effects (because long-range lightning is awesome), but it’ll only take the highest damage of your combined effects to reduce their surprise burst potential.
- "Your required reading for Phantom Dancer context is to read the Infinity Edge context (above) before starting here.
- We can wait.
- There isn't much else to add beyond the Infinity Edge context (shifting crit multipliers to mid-game items), except that we're hoping to solidify PD as a single-target focused item versus Shiv's area-of-effect power strengths. "
