Abyssal Mask

Abyssal Mask is refocused in patch 7.3 on tank supports and low-income champions: 600 gold cheaper (2400), and an aura that makes nearby enemies take 12% more magic damage.

Riot felt the item lacked a clear audience and purpose. It makes it affordable for tank supports and low-income champions, so they can empower their teammates without a big gold income.

It fits teams with at least one or two magic damage dealers and a frontline that stays in contact.

Comparisons
Abyssal Mask vs Force of Nature

Force of Nature is the defensive answer to magic. Abyssal Mask is less defensive, but amplifies your whole team's magic damage.

Abyssal Mask vs Kaenic Rookern

Kaenic Rookern protects against a big magic burst. Abyssal Mask serves the team through its aura and costs 2400 gold.

Common mistakes
  • Buying it in a team with no magic damage: the aura does nothing.
  • Hanging back: the aura only reaches enemies within 6.5 meters.
  • Judging it by its Mana: it no longer gives any.
