Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Infernal Conduit

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities apply an infinitely stacking Burn, dealing magic damage over time. Your Burn effects reduce your basic Ability Cooldowns.

    Why on Anivia

    Glacial Storm (R) keeps damaging enemies inside it, stacking the Burn, and those Burns lower the cooldowns of Flash Frost (Q), Crystallize (W), and Frostbite (E).

  2. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Anivia

    Your Glacial Storm (R) damage and your stronger Frostbite (E) hits on Chilled enemies can now critically strike, adding burst on top of your steady zone damage.

  3. Phenomenal Evil

    Gold

    Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.

    Why on Anivia

    Every Flash Frost (Q) and Frostbite (E) hit grants permanent Ability Power, and taking it after round 4 also gives you a flat 40 Ability Power.
