So I’m a yorick main and want to try out an ap-build I found somewhere. But in this and many other builds I see shadowflame and I’m wondering why this is the case. I know that when yorick proc maiden she deals magic damage based on enemy max hp, and that can crit. But I’m just wondering if the burn that liandrys apply can crit as well as any other magic damage that Yorick can put out
External link →It does. Shadowflame works like this:
Who is dealing the damage? It only checks damage dealt by the holder (this includes their pets and other things like items that are sourced back to the originating champion).
What type of damage is being dealt? It only proceeds if it's magic or true damage.
What percent health is the enemy at? If they are below the threshold, it crits, dealing the increased damage.
It has some other hidden rules, like not applying to summoner spells, but Liandry's damage would fall within these, since it deals magic damage and is being dealt by the Shadowflame holder.
All of that having been said, I would say Liandry's Shadowflame Yorick is a...bold choice.
