Providing early physical defense, these boots help Benedetta sustain damage during aggressive jungle clears and early skirmishes. The temporary armor gain from taking physical hits complements her close-range combat style when dashing in with Elapsed Daytime. This added durability ensures she survives early trades before she can reliably rely on An Eye for An Eye to block incoming damage.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Valor: Gain 4 extra Physical Defense for 3s when taking Physical Damage, up to 20.
This item is crucial for Benedetta as her multi-hit abilities like Phantom Slash and Alecto: Final Blow quickly trigger the movement speed bonus. The flat physical penetration boosts her early burst damage, while the extra movement speed enhances her relentless chasing capability. With this item completed, she can easily glide across the map and re-engage using passive Swordout Slash dashes.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Retribution: Dealing damage to the same enemy hero or creep 5 times in a row grants 50% extra Movement Speed that decays over 3s (8s cooldown).
Endless Battle synergizes perfectly with Benedetta's skill-heavy playstyle. Since she constantly casts skills between basic attacks and Swordout Slash dashes, she reliably triggers extra true damage to shred beefy targets. The additional sustain and cooldown reduction allow her to spam An Eye for An Eye more frequently, drastically increasing her survivability and aggressive tempo during mid-game skirmishes around objectives like the Turtle.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Divine Justice: After casting a skill, the next Basic Attack within 3s deals 60% Physical Attack as extra True Damage (1.5s cooldown).
Providing a massive boost to her physical attack scaling, this item makes her abilities hit drastically harder. Alecto: Final Blow scales heavily with extra physical attack, and Phantom Slash deals double damage when the shadow connects. The extra physical attack against low-health enemies enables her to execute fleeing foes instantly with a charged Swordout Slash, solidifying her role as an unstoppable backline assassin.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Despair: Dealing damage to non-Minion enemies below 50% HP increases Physical Attack by 25% for 2s (takes effect before the damage is dealt).
Dealing damage with her skills stacks extra physical attack, movement speed, and control duration reduction. This item prevents Benedetta from being locked down and bursted during late-game engagements. The added control reduction ensures that even if she misses the timing on An Eye for An Eye, she can recover fast enough to charge her Sword Intent and dash away safely.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Brute Force: Each second after dealing damage, gain 6 extra Physical Attack and Magic Power and 2% extra Movement Speed for 4s, up to 6 stacks. Gain 15% extra Control Duration Reduction at full stacks.
As enemies stack armor late in the game, Malefic Roar provides dynamic physical penetration scaled against enemy physical defense. This ensures that her Alecto: Final Blow ultimate and basic Swordout Slash dashes retain their devastating burst power against tanky opponents, preventing her damage from falling off when invading the enemy base or fighting for the Lord.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Armor Buster: When attacking an enemy, gains 0.125% extra Physical Penetration for each point of the enemy's Physical Defense, capped at 40%.
