The Brutalizer is an epic item in League of Legends designed for assassins and AD casters. It provides a cost-efficient combination of offensive stats that make it particularly effective in the early to mid-game.

Current Stats:

  • Attack Damage: 25
  • Ability Haste: 10
  • Lethality: 5
  • Total Cost: 1337
  • Recipe: Glowing Mote + Pickaxe + 212 gold

The item builds into several powerful options:

  • Voltaic Cyclosword
  • Axiom Arc
  • Serylda's Grudge
  • Profane Hydra

Gold Value:

  • 25 attack damage = 875 gold
  • 10 ability haste = 500 gold
  • 5 lethality = 150 gold
  • Total Gold Value = 1525 gold
  • Gold Efficiency: 114.06%

Notable Features:

  • One of only two epic items providing lethality (along with Serrated Dirk)
  • Cost of 1337 gold is a reference to "Leet" gaming culture
  • One of only two items not priced at a multiple of 25 (along with Trinity Force)

Recent Changes:

  • No longer builds into Serylda's Grudge
  • Lethality reduced from 8 to 5
  • Updated item icon
  • Bug fix to correctly display lethality in tooltip

The Brutalizer was previously removed from the game and replaced by Serrated Dirk and Caulfield's Warhammer before being reintroduced with its current iteration.
