League of Legends: Elixir of Agility - A Look Back at the Removed Item
The Elixir of Agility was a consumable item in League of Legends that provided temporary combat stats until its removal in patch V1.0.0.152.
Core Stats:
- Attack Speed: 12-22% (based on level)
- Critical Strike Chance: 8%
- Cost: 250 gold
- Duration: 4 minutes
Gold Value:
- Level 1: 620 gold (248% efficient)
- Level 18: 870 gold (348% efficient)
Strategic Use:
- Best utilized by DPS champions like Tryndamere
- Commonly purchased late-game when builds were complete
- Provided temporary advantages during ganks and teamfights
- Activated automatically when inventory was full
Seasonal Variants:
- Piece of Green Candy (Harrowing)
- Green Tea Kettle (Lunar Revel)
- Fury Fungus (Great Hunt)
Removal Reason: The item was removed because it disproportionately benefited AD carries who were already ahead, making hyper carries too strong and forcing end-game AD builds to focus on critical strikes.
Notable Changes Before Removal:
- V1.0.0.146: Attack speed reduced to 12-22%
- V1.0.0.144: Critical strike chance reduced to 8%

The item was not available in Dominion mode and would persist through pseudo-deaths (Guardian Angel, Chronoshift).
