Attack damage (AD) is a fundamental offensive stat in League of Legends that determines the physical damage dealt by basic attacks. It serves as a counterpart to ability power and influences champion playstyles and item builds.

Types of Attack Damage:

• Base AD: The innate attack damage that champions gain through leveling
• Bonus AD: Additional attack damage from items, runes, buffs, and other sources
• Total AD: The sum of base and bonus attack damage

Gold Value: Each point of attack damage is worth 35 gold.

Scaling:

• Abilities can scale with base AD, bonus AD, or total AD ratios
• AD scaling doesn't always mean physical damage; abilities can deal other damage types
• Over 70 champions have no AD ratios on their abilities

Ways to Increase AD:

Items:

• Core items like Trinity Force, Sterak's Gage, Death's Dance
• Consumables like Elixir of Wrath

Champion Abilities:

• Buffs like Janna's Eye of the Storm
• Passive effects like Hecarim's Warpath
• Ultimate abilities like Tryndamere's Undying Rage

Runes:

Neutral Buffs:

Notable Records:

• Largest possible AD ratio: Kalista's Rend at 8915% AD
• Second largest: Miss Fortune's Bullet Time at 1524% AD

Champions can also decrease enemy AD through abilities like Tryndamere's Mocking Shout and Trundle's Chomp.
