Official Effects

Armor penetration: 15

Shield Reaver: Dealing damage to an enemy champion reduces any shields they gain for 3s. Melee champions apply (10% of bonus Attack Damage + 40)% shield reduction, capped at 60%; while ranged champions apply (10% of bonus Attack Damage + 25)% shield reduction, capped at 45%. When you damage an enemy who is unaffected by Shield Reaver, all shields on them are reduced by the same values.

When Should You Build Serpent's Fang?

Build Serpent's Fang when a physical damage dealer can reach priority targets and the enemy composition produces frequent, meaningful shields across several sources.

Best on: AD assassins, lethality fighters, and physical casters that apply damage before or during shield windows.
Good against: Strong into enchanters plus items such as Eclipse, Sterak's Gage, Seraph's Embrace, Gargoyle Stoneplate, Locket, and Kaenic Rookern; do not buy it solely for one minor shield.
When to buy it: Usually second to fourth once shielding is clearly preventing kills; rush only when the enemy draft is built around shields.

Gold Efficiency Breakdown

A theoretical stat comparison priced from Wild Rift base items. Stats without a basic-item anchor use the source's fixed estimates; slow resistance, damage effects, shields, actives, and other utility remain unpriced. Use this to compare similar items, not as a complete measure of in-game power.
