Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Trueshot Prodigy

    Prismatic

    When you damage a champion from far away, fire a Trueshot Barrage at them.

    Why on Hwei

    Severing Bolt from Subject: Disaster (Q) strikes over far distances, so you can fire Trueshot Barrages while staying safely behind your team.

  2. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Hwei

    Subject: Disaster (Q) spells like Severing Bolt and Devastating Fire are big single hits, so crits turn them into much larger damage spikes.

  3. Magic Missile

    Gold

    Dealing damage with an Ability fires 3 magic missiles, each dealing percent max Health true damage.

    Why on Hwei

    Subject: Disaster (Q) and Subject: Torment (E) give you six damaging spells, so Magic Missile triggers often and adds percent max Health true damage.
