Attack Damage (AD) is a fundamental offensive statistic in League of Legends that determines the physical damage dealt by basic attacks. It serves as a counterpart to ability power and plays a crucial role in champion scaling and itemization.

Types of Attack Damage:

• Base AD: Innate attack damage that increases with champion level
• Bonus AD: Additional attack damage from items, runes, and buffs
• Total AD: The sum of base and bonus attack damage

Gold Value: 35 gold per point of attack damage

Scaling and Mechanics:

• Abilities can scale with base AD, bonus AD, or total AD
• AD scaling doesn't always result in physical damage
• Basic attacks use total AD for damage calculation
• AD stacks additively (1:1 ratio)

Sources of Attack Damage:

1. Items

• Core AD items
• Item passives (like Sheen, Trinity Force)
• Consumables (Elixir of Wrath)

2. Champion Abilities

• Buffs (Janna's Eye of the Storm)
• Passive effects (Hecarim's Warpath)
• Temporary boosts (Tryndamere's Bloodlust)

3. Runes

• Conqueror
• Eyeball Collection
• Adaptive Force shards

4. Neutral Buffs

• Baron Nashor
• Dragon souls
• Jungle buffs

Notable Records:

• Highest possible AD: Level 18 Jhin with approximately 3,408 AD (under specific conditions)
• Largest AD ratio: Kalista's Rend at 8,915% AD (with 254 spears)
• Base AD range at level 18: 50 (Senna) to 153 (Illaoi)

Attack damage remains a crucial stat that defines champion playstyles and build paths, particularly for marksmen and physical damage dealers.
