Infinity Orb

Infinity Orb is an execution-burst item for mages and AP assassins that win fights by quickly finishing already-damaged targets.

The item reaches full value when your champion cleanly chains poke, partial burst, then execution. It does not build long pressure like Liandry or solve a defensive need: it mainly makes the last chunk of HP far easier to remove, which heavily improves pick conversion and resets.

It is a strong buy for explosive, mobile AP profiles or champions that control trade range well. It loses value in heavy front-to-back games or on mages that mainly want to melt frontlines over time rather than quickly finish vulnerable targets.
