Frontline
Sunfire Aegis
Sunfire Aegis is simplified in patch 7.3: no more stacking or basic attack effect, just a continuous burn that scales with bonus Health. It goes back to high-Health tanks.
The item does more than add durability. It turns a tank's continuous presence into real damage, cleaner waveclear, and constant pressure as soon as the lane or fight lets you occupy space.
It is a solid buy for close-range tanks who stack Health. It is less appealing on champions far from the heart of the fight, or when the game first calls for a very specific defensive answer.
Strategische Zusammenfassung
Sunfire Aegis is simplified in patch 7.3: no more stacking or basic attack effect, just a continuous burn that scales with bonus Health. It goes back to high-Health tanks.
Immolate: upon entering combat, you deal 20 magic damage + 1.5% of your bonus Health to nearby enemies every second; 175 to 250% of that damage to minions, 130% to monsters. Flametouch is removed. Riot shifts the item's power toward high-Health tanks rather than fast champions who stacked its effects.

Champion-Beispiele
Shen loves extended close-range fights and benefits greatly from an item that improves both his lane clear and his frontline presence.
Maokai locks down several enemies up close, exactly where the continuous burn deals its damage.
Ornn wants to stay in the thick of the fight for a long time, control space, and punish in front-to-back fights. Sunfire Aegis fits that plan naturally.
Vergleiche
Heartsteel grows your Health; Sunfire Aegis turns that bonus Health into continuous damage around you. The two complement each other on a high-Health tank.
Thornmail becomes better when anti-heal is needed. Sunfire Aegis is the pick when you first want presence damage up close.
Häufige Fehler
- Buying it automatically on every tank, even those that do not stick well to targets.
- Treating it like a purely defensive item even though its true value comes from time spent in contact.
- Prioritizing it when a situational need such as anti-heal or MR is far more urgent.
- Overestimating its damage when your champion lacks the tools to stay in melee.
- Delaying it in a game where its main appeal would have been helping your early clear and first mid-game spike.
Build-Kontexte
1st lane tank item
A very strong first item on a solo-lane tank that wants better wave control, stronger melee trades, and a mid-game arrival with an already threatening profile.
High-Health tank
Since 7.3, the burn scales with bonus Health: the item is worth more as your build stacks Health.
Close-range extended fights
An excellent option when the game is likely to feature many short-to-medium skirmishes with several champions grouped at close range.
