Golden King [P]

Ascension 3Cooldown 4
[Passive Effect]

Increases this Champion’s ATK by 5% for each active buff on the enemy team (stacks up to 100%).

[Active Effect]

Prevents this Champion’s death and keep them alive on 1 HP when hit by a fatal hit. Places a [Stone Skin] buff on them for 1 turn. Then, instantly activates the [Wrath of Hrothglime] skill. This will not place the [Wrath of Hrothglime] skill on cooldown.

If there are multiple Champions on the team with this skill, this effect will only activate once.

Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.
