Map-specific differences (1)

New Effect: Now gains 14 stacks at the start of the game and each subsequent round.

Super Scorcher Breath

Cost: 25 manaCooldown: 5.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4 / 3.5Cast time: 100% of Smolder's windup time (0.261 at base attack speed)Target range: 550 (+ 100% bonus attack range)Range: 500Effect radius: 285 • 150Angle: 15°Speed: 1800 • 900Queue threshold: 0.05

Active: Smolder spits a fireball at the target enemy that deals physical damage, increased by 0% – 75% (+ 0% – 22.5%) (based on critical strike chance); applies on-hit effects; applies life steal at 50% effectiveness; and triggers on-attack effects. If Super Scorcher Breath kills at least one target, Smolder restores 15 mana.

Physical Damage: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 (+ 130% bonus AD)

Super Scorcher Breath becomes empowered with new effects based on the number of Dragon Practice stacks:

Tier 1 - 25 stacks: The fireball explodes upon collision to deal the same physical damage to nearby enemies. The explosion benefits from life steal at 50% effectiveness and applies on-hit effects.

Tier 2 - 125 stacks: The fireball sends forth 2 (+ 0.8 per 100 Dragon Practice stacks) bolts of fire in an arc upon collision that explode at maximum range, dealing 50% of the same damage to enemies hit. The bolts benefit from life steal at 50% effectiveness and apply on-hit effects.

Physical Damage: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 (+ 65% bonus AD)

Tier 3 - 225 stacks: Enemies hit are set on fire for 3 seconds, causing them to take bonus true damage equal to「 2.5% per 100 bonus AD (+ 0.5% per 100 Dragon Practice stacks) of their maximum health over the duration, capped at 300 against monsters. 」「 0.83% per 100 bonus AD (+ 0.17% per 100 Dragon Practice stacks) of their maximum health each second, capped at 100 per tick against monsters. 」Subsequent applications of the burn stack, though not refreshing the duration of the previous burn. Enemy champions afflicted with the burn are also executed once Smolder deals damage to them that would leave them below 6.5% of their maximum health.

Active: Smolder sneezes a fiery glob in the target direction that deals physical damage to enemies hit and slows them by 35% for 1.5 seconds, slowing down in missile speed after travelling 1200 units. Hitting an enemy champion creates an explosion that deals physical damage to nearby enemies, with subsequent explosions against the same target dealing 75% damage of the previous explosion's damage.
