Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Outlaw's Grit

    Gold

    After using a Dash, Blink, or Teleport Ability you gain Armor and Magic Resist.

    Why on K'Sante

    Footwork (E) and Path Maker (W) both dash you forward, so you gain Armor and Magic Resist often while you engage or peel for allies.

  2. Tank Engine

    Gold

    Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.

    Why on K'Sante

    Path Maker (W) deals damage based on your max Health, so the Health from each takedown adds both survivability and damage to your engage.

  3. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on K'Sante

    Footwork (E) is a dash, so its cooldown drops sharply and you can shield yourself or an ally and reposition far more often.
