Patch 11.17

Rather than being a situational item against shield-heavy enemies, Serpent's Fang has become a staple in the second item slot for physical assassins. We want to preserve its low gold cost so that it's still an accessible situational pickup, but with stats that are more proportional.

LETHALITY : [18] ⇒ 12


Patch 11.11

While Serpent's Fang's primary users are physical assassins, its power for ranged users feels underwhelming. We're reducing the gap between melee and ranged shield reduction to make it an option for countering high-shield enemies, even without assassins on your side.

SHIELD REAVER SHIELD REDUCTION FOR RANGED USERS : [25%] ⇒ 35%


Patch 11.5

Serpent's Fang is a powerful but underwhelming and confusing item, so we're making it more broadly usable. Imagine Grievous Wounds for shields, but with extra profits!

SHIELD REAVER Dealing damage to an enemy champion reduces any shields they gain by 50% for melee champions and 25% for ranged champions for the next three seconds. When you damage an enemy who is unaffected by Shield Reaver, reduce all shields on them by 50% for melee champions and 25% for ranged champions.
ON-HIT ITEM BUGFIX : Fixed a bug where Serpent's Fang's Shield Reaver passive would not reduce an enemy's shields if the user had any on-hit items equipped


Patch 11.2

TOTAL COST : [2800 gold] ⇒ 2600 gold
ATTACK DAMAGE : [60] ⇒ 55


Patch 10.24

Although Fang is a strong item, it hasn’t seen much action, so we’re increasing its damage to solidify it as a powerful situational choice for assassins.

SHIELD REAVER DAMAGE : [50 physical damage] ⇒ 70 physical damage


Patch 10.23

ATTACK DAMAGE : 60
LETHALITY : 18
UNIQUE PASSIVE : SHIELD REAVER: Basic attacks and abilities deal 50 (+40% bonus AD) additional physical damage to shielded targets
