Implications of the new obsidian shard, titans bane and e-staff

New obsidian shard, titans bane and e-staff

Obsidian shard:

For obsidian shard, the passive is its 20% pen, up to 45%, increasing in % when the enemy is above 40 mag prots, capping at 175.



So for every 5.4 additional prots the enemy gets, you get 1% more magical pen.



That means to get back to the original 33% ob shard gave you in S4, the enemy must have 70 extra mag prots above 40 (70+40), or 110 total magical prots.



For obsidian shard, if you only get 20% pen from it, your enemy at max, will have 40 magical protections, providing only 8 penetration which drops down (not in % pen), but the pen it provides, the lower they have than 40 magical prots.



>Main thing to know: To get around 15 pen from obsidian shard, your enemy must have 62 prots (15 being the norm for flat pen items, ob shard providing 24% pen)



Titan's bane:

For titans bane, the passive is its 20% pen, up to 40%, increasing in % when the enemy is above 65 to 175 phys prots.



So for every 5.5 physical prot they have, u get 1% extra phys pen.



That means to get back to the original 30% titans bane gave you in S4, the enemy must have 55 phys prots above 65 (120 total).



Titan's bane gives you 13 phys pen if your enemy has 65 prots or lower, but this goes down further the less prots they have (but is capped at 20%).



>Main thing to know: To get 15 pen from titans bane, your opponent must have 70 prots or over (you get 21% phys pen).



E-staff:

For e-staff it scales up from 3% of their max hp as dmg up to 10%, and requires the enemy be above 2000 hp capping at 2750, you get 1% extra max hp dmg for every extra 107 hp they have.



Physical protection will be built before magical defence typically and tanks normally have fewer magical protection items, obsidian shard should be built later than titans bane, even though you'll achieve 15 pen earlier than titans bane, people just build magical defence later, so it's best to build flat pen items for mages earlier and get obsidian shard as a lategame item as it is more specifically a tank killer.
