Atma's Impaler was a unique League of Legends item that converted maximum health into attack damage. It provided 45 armor and 15% critical strike chance, with a total base cost of 2300 gold.

The item's unique passive converted 1.5% of the champion's maximum health into bonus attack damage. This made it particularly effective on tanks and bruisers who built large health pools, such as Sion and Cho'Gath.
