Builds by level

Every combination of Ornn's own traits that a comp of the chosen level can reach, ranked by the effective health of its best defensive build under the chosen incoming damage stream (half physical, half magic). Numbers open the Tank Calculator with the same inputs. Levels 4 to 7 only use champions you can find at that level: up to 2-costs at level 4, 3-costs at levels 5 and 6, 4-costs at level 7.

From the mana bar filling until mana can come in again. No mana comes in during this time. The mana lock lasts as long as the shield holds, at most 4.00 s. Attacks continue.

  • mana locked (no mana while the effect runs)

First cast at 22.33 s with 0.60 attacks per second. Items, traits and damage taken change the mana pace; the cast, effect and channel windows do not.

Step by step, in words
  1. Mana reaches 100/100: the cast starts and the mana lock goes on (no mana from attacks, ticks or damage taken).
  2. 0.00 to 0.62 s: cast window. The unit plays its cast animation and its return to idle; it cannot auto attack.
  3. 0.62 to up to 4.00 s: the shield keeps the mana lock on until it breaks or expires. Attacks land, no mana comes in.
  4. 0.62 s: unlock. Mana starts again (overflow kept) and a fresh attack starts from zero; it lands at 0.83 s at base attack speed (the attack delay is 13% of the attack animation).
  5. Attack loop: the attack lands at 13% of the attack animation (mana granted) and unlocks at 40%; a cast that becomes possible at the landing starts at that unlock point, cutting the rest of the attack.
  6. Mana gain: 5 per attack; combat starts at 30/100.
  7. Overflow is banked: mana past 100 from attacks or regen is kept through the cast (98/100 plus 5 casts and comes back with 3). Same rule for every champion; only the amounts differ by role.

// Itemized Roles

Main TankSituationalWarmog's ArmorGargoyle StoneplateSpirit Visage

1-cost AP Tank (game role tag). Tanks take the frontline item set. Mana lock 4.00 s per cast; tanks fill mainly from damage taken (1% of pre-mitigation and 3% of pre-shield damage per hit, capped at 50), so the lock length matters more than item mana. The classic main tank trio: a huge Health pool, resists that grow as more enemies focus the tank, and healing amplification to stay standing longest.

Main Tank picks can also serve as a Support Tank, holding debuff auras on the carry's side of the board.
