GameplaySmolder is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
Super Scorcher Breath still grants stacks if the target dies while the initial missile is in flight.
Achooo! can only grant a stack of Dragon Practice with the first hit against each enemy champion.
- Applies
default damage for the burn, 
spell damage for the fireball, and 
area damage for the explosions. - Smolder can't declare basic attacks for a brief moment after the cast time.
- Only Smolder's damage counts for triggering the execute.
- If the target is below the threshold while afflicted with the burn, they will be executed on the next instance of damage dealt by Smolder, which includes the burn tick.
- If Super Scorcher Breath would damage the target to below the execution threshold, they are executed on the same damage instance.
- At 125
Dragon Practice stacks, the fireball will launch 2 bolts. - At 225 Dragon Practice stacks, the burn's damage based on the target's health ratio will increase by at least 1.8%.
- Super Scorcher Breath can only hit enemies once per cast.
- The minion and monster damage modifier applies only to the physical damage.
- The bolts apply the bonus magic damage from Dragon Practice at 75% damage.

blocked and 
dodged.

Hidden amongst the craggy cliffs of the Noxian frontier, under the watchful eyes of his mother, a young dragon is learning what it means to be heir to the Camavoran imperial dragon lineage. Playful and eager to grow up, Smolder looks for any excuse to practice his burgeoning abilities. Though he's still a fledgling, his skills are nothing to sneeze at, easily setting fire to anything that burns.
