Notes
- Activating Crescent does not reset the auto-attack timer. Rather, the effect uses the champion's auto attack animation to display the effect.
- Crescent casts faster as you gain more attack speed.
- Crescent's damage procs
The Black Cleaver's passive effect, but doesn't benefit from lifesteal. 
Gangplank's Parrrley and Poppy's Iron Ambassador are the only abilities that can apply on-hit effects as melee attacks while behaving as ranged attacks.
Trivia

- Tiamat building into two items that borrow their namesake from the Hydra, another many-headed beast, also alludes to this.

Patch History
Patch 14.1
- Giving Tiamat a tad more power while also smoothing out the cast time.
- Unique Active - Crescent: Deals 60% AD physical damage ⇒ Deals 75% AD physical damage
- Cast Time: 0.25 seconds ⇒ Now references user’s auto attack cast time
- Cleave Damage: 50% total AD for Melee/25% total AD for Ranged ⇒ 40% total AD for Melee/20% total AD for Ranged
Updating Cleave’s damage to be more in line with the new Ravenous Hydra.
- Unique Passive - Cleave: 60-12% total AD (based on distance) ⇒ 50% of total AD for melee champions and 25% of total AD for ranged champions to all enemies around them
We're splitting up Tiamat's passive and active to let each take on more of a center-stage role as separate components. Tiamat is keeping the passive; the active is moving to a new item just below.
TOTAL COST : 1200 gold
BUILD PATH : Pickaxe + 325 gold
ATTACK DAMAGE : 25
CLEAVE : Attacks deal up to 60% total attack damage physical damage to other nearby enemies
Patch 8.24b
Cost increased.
We're increasing the investment required to grab Tiamat's dueling and waveclear benefits for champions who plan to sit on it rather than quickly upgrading to a Hydra.
COST : [1200] ⇒ 1325 gold
UPGRADES : Ravenous Hydra and Titanic Hydra cost 125 less gold to upgrade; total costs unchanged
ATTACK DAMAGE : [20] ⇒ 25
v6.6
Recipe changed. Attack damage lowered, but now has passive cleave again.
Back in 5.22, the thinking was that by making Tiamat a cheaper item (while still building out of the amazing Pickaxe), we could see it bought for its laning benefits rather than being the item that you power-spiked off of. What we saw was actually the opposite - many laners and junglers (Kha’Zix, Jarvan, Renekton) alike struggled with the pushing or clearing capabilities of the old Tiamat. Now that we’ve lived in a world without Cleave, we’re trading stat-efficiency to bring it back to the people who need it most.

v5.7
Tiamat's passive damage now scales linearly. Also affects Ravenous Hydra.
- "Previously, Tiamat's Cleave passive only had three 'stages' of damage based on whether you were 'close', 'close-ish', or 'kind of close' to the center of the proc. This led to some weird situations where targets that were visually farther away would still take damage as if they were closer. Now that Cleave scales linearly, you'll always take damage appropriate to how close/far you are from the target. Also affects Ravenous Hydra (we stole this part from the summary). "

Scales in three damage 'stages'⇒ linearly with distance
