Guardian Angel is a legendary defensive item that provides both offensive and defensive capabilities, primarily designed for fighters, marksmen, and assassins.

Current Stats:

  • Attack Damage: 55
  • Armor: 45
  • Cost: 3200 gold

Unique Passive - Rebirth: Upon taking lethal damage, the user enters a 4-second stasis state and then resurrects with 50% of their base health and 100% of their maximum mana. This effect has a 300-second cooldown.

Key Interactions:

  • Rebirth takes priority over Anivia's Rebirth, Zac's Cell Division, and zombie state effects
  • Does not override Zilean's Chronoshift
  • Won't activate when killed by the Nexus Obelisk
  • Healing amount can be increased by effects like Spirit Visage
  • Quicksilver can be used during the resurrection state

Important Notes:

  • Summoner spells are placed on a 4-second cooldown upon triggering Rebirth
  • Health regeneration is set to 0 during Rebirth
  • The untargetability state doesn't destroy in-flight projectiles
  • Limited to 1 Guardian Angel per champion

Recipe:

  • Steel Sigil
  • B. F. Sword
  • 700 gold combine cost

Guardian Angel's base stats are 88.28% gold efficient, making it a valuable item for champions who need a second chance in crucial teamfights or high-stakes situations.

Map Availability:

  • Available on Summoner's Rift
  • Disabled on ARAM
  • Modified on Arena (cooldown changed to one round)

The item is particularly effective on champions who benefit from both attack damage and armor while needing a safety net in dangerous situations.
