Ruby Crystal is a basic League of Legends item that provides 150 health for 400 gold. It serves as the foundation for calculating health stat values in the game, with each point of health worth approximately 2.67 gold.

Key Features:

  • Cost: 400 gold
  • Health: 150
  • Gold efficiency: 100% (base item for health calculations)
  • Can be purchased at game start
  • Builds into numerous advanced items

Strategic Use: While Ruby Crystal can be purchased as a starting item, Doran's Shield is generally preferred due to its health regeneration. However, Ruby Crystal's advantage lies in its ability to build into many valuable items, unlike Doran's Shield which must eventually be sold.

Current Build Paths:

  • Spear of Shojin
  • Sundered Sky
  • Thornmail
  • Black Cleaver
  • Haunting Guise
  • Heartsteel
  • Iceborn Gauntlet
  • Tunneler
  • Unending Despair
  • Chalice of Blessing
  • Lifewell Pendant
  • Catalyst of Aeons
  • Jak'Sho, The Protean
  • Various other defensive and offensive items

The item is particularly valuable for champions who need early health scaling or plan to build items that require Ruby Crystal as a component. Its versatility makes it a reliable purchase for many roles, including fighters, tanks, and some mages.
