Our goal with these Shojin changes is to make it synergize better with champions that should be primary users of the items, so these should help move it in the right direction for those champs. (Note: This change was implemented in Patch 14.4.)

- Attack-based spells now add a stack and get their damage improved by the spell amp

Items in League of Legends will always have a best user. It’s inevitable. What's important is for items to be balanced for a large pool of champions and that outliers are handled as needed. In Spear of Shojin's case, we're overall quite happy with its new shape as a mid-sized fighter item that asks for a longer fight commitment to make use if its ability haste, but it's a little too powerful. This patch we're further lowering the attack damage to reinforce its space as a durable item that's functional as an early purchase.
- Attack Damage: 60 ⇒ 55
In this patch, our goal is to make Spear of Shojin a solid middleweight fighter item. Its stat efficiency is receiving a significant buff to open it up to more users, and its unique passive is being heavily buffed before four items. We expect some champions like Hecarim and Jax to be very pleased with this buff and some new champions to take notice. We’ll follow up as needed on any individual balance outliers, but we believe a world where more fighters buy items with 500 HP on them makes for a healthier game overall.
- Item Recipe: Caulfield’s Warhammer + B.F. Sword + Kindlegem ⇒ Caulfield’s Warhammer + Pickaxe + Kindlegem
- Combine Cost: 100 ⇒ 525 (Note: total item cost is unchanged.)
- Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 60
- Health: 350 ⇒ 500
- Dragonforce: 8 (+8% bonus AD) Haste for Melee Champions / 6 (+6% bonus AD) Haste for Ranged Champions ⇒ 16 (+4% bonus AD) Haste for Melee Champions / 12 (+3% bonus AD) Haste for Ranged Champions (Note: this is a buff before 200 bonus AD.)
Spear of Shojin should be an exciting capstone-level item for fighters but currently has very few purchasers. This item does fulfill a very specific niche but there are other champions that could potentially do well with it that are intimidated by its high price. We’ll be reducing its gold cost and increasing its HP offering to make this item more of a realistic option for users that aren’t as well established, like Jax or Hecarim.
- Total Cost: 3400 gold ⇒ 3300 gold
- Health: 300 ⇒ 350
Patch 12.22 - Re-added
Shojin is back! Become the AD caster you’ve always wanted to be.
- Gold Cost: 3400
- Attack Damage: 65
- Health: 300
- Ability Haste: 20
- Unique Passive - Dragonforce: Non-ultimate spells gain an extra [8 (+8% bonus AD) Ability Haste for melee champions
When wielded by its most synergistic users, Shojin's unique passive reduced the downtime of their CC, mobility, and immunity spells beyond what we think leaves healthy room for counterplay.
Patch 9.3
Grants attack damage, health, cooldown reduction, and Awakened Dragon (renamed Essence Flare).
Per the Essence Reaver context, several champions make good use of Essence Flare. It's just that they're mostly not marksmen. We made a new item for them. (To those of you who saw the previous Spear of Shojin on Nexus Blitz, it ended up overlapping enough with Sterak's Gage that we decided not to move it forward.)
- Added to the game through Nexus Blitz.
B. F. Sword +
Kindlegem + 800 gold = 2900 gold- 60 attack damage, 200 health, 10% cooldown reduction.
- UNIQUE: (Passive) Reduces damage from champion attacks and abilities by 20 (+10% bonus AD), capped at 70.
- UNIQUE: (Passive) While within 500-units of at least 3 enemy champions, basic attack to gain Dragon Heart (90 seconds cooldown).
- Dragon Heart For 6 seconds, blocks 200% more damage, for a total of 60 (+30% bonus AD). The duration refreshes on takedowns.
