Serpent's Fang
Lethality and shield break
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.

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.
