Aftershock: League of Legends Wild Rift Keystone Rune Guide
Aftershock is a powerful keystone rune in Wild Rift that enhances defensive capabilities and provides burst damage potential.
When you immobilize an enemy champion, Aftershock grants:
- 35 bonus armor (+ 60% bonus armor)
- 35 bonus magic resistance (+ 60% bonus magic resistance)
- These defensive bonuses last for 2.5 seconds
After the defensive buff expires, Aftershock releases a shockwave that:
- Deals 12-110 magic damage (based on level)
- Adds 3% of your maximum health as bonus damage
- Affects nearby enemy champions
Key Details:
- Cooldown: 35 seconds
- Requires Summoner Level 8
- Bonus resistances are calculated when triggered, not dynamically
- Won't activate against displacement-immune targets
Recent Changes:
- Bonus armor and magic resistance increased from 60% to 80%
- Damage increased from 12-110 to 25-125 (based on level)
This rune is particularly effective on champions with reliable crowd control abilities who want to enhance their durability while maintaining damage threat. The combination of defensive stats and area damage makes it especially valuable for engaging supports and frontline champions.
Important Notes:
- Works best on tanks and engage champions
- Provides significant defensive stats for trades and all-ins
- Area damage helps secure kills and zone enemies
- Defensive bonuses are front-loaded for maximum impact in short trades
