Haunting Guise is a powerful mage item in League of Legends that provides both offensive and defensive stats. It offers 30 ability power and 200 health, making it an effective early-game purchase for ability power champions.

The item features a unique passive called Madness, which increases damage dealt by 2% for each second in combat with enemy champions, stacking up to 3 times for a maximum of 6% increased damage. This passive affects all damage types, including true damage.

• 200 health = 533.33 gold Total Gold Value = 1133.33 gold Gold Efficiency: 87.18%

Historical Note: Originally introduced as a magic penetration item, Haunting Guise has evolved through various iterations. In 2010, it had a seasonal variant called Pumpkin Guise during the Harrowing celebration. The name "Haunting Guise" is a clever play on "haunting eyes," referencing both its appearance and common idiom.

Recent Changes:

• Ability power reduced from 35 to 30
• Updated item icon
• Passive reworked to focus on damage amplification rather than magic penetration
• Recipe and stats adjusted for better early-game balance
