Atma's Impaler

Interesting item. AR Crit Chance and a % based AD boost. Hmmmmm... Lets do some math. Most champions end up with around 2k HP before items and stacks (Cho'gath). At this point this item is giving 45 AR which is a decent amount but definitely not worth the price. 18% Crit chance is another meh stat but is helpful. The real question is whether or not that 2% bonus AD is worth it. 2,000 x .02 = +40 AD So for a typical carry this will give sub-par benefits.

However, tanks are a slightly different case. Most tanks end with any where from 3k - 4.5k HP. That is a +60 - 90 AD bonus. This is great for a tank because it allows for a great AD boost while still maintaining a tanky build. Warmog's Armor gives amazing synergy to any high HP tank wanting a good tanky AD item.

I recommend for any high HP tanks but there are much better items for those physical carries out there. Even though it does grant some survivabilty.

I seriously have this item in everyone of my builds on this site lol!

Will it add to Garen's Judgment in terms of AD? or does it count only as AA damage for him ;-;

It adds to a character's AD itself.* Garen's Judgment scales with his AD, its damage will go up (as will any other character's AD abilities).

Because the stats from the Chain Vest and Cloak of Agility are identical to the finished recipe, you're basically paying 825 for that passive. 825g≈22.5 AD (based off of B. F. Sword) so you need only 1125 HP for this item to be worth the money.

But, of course, as a previous poster mentioned, the usefulness of the item itself varies between characters.

*EDIT: I'm pretty sure that Mobafire needs to update this, because the League website says it adds AD. That's how I remember it ingame, but I could be wrong and League needs to update their website.

does it actually ADD to your bonus AD? because it only says adds to your autoattacks

it really increases it's ad. i've bought it ingame and seen my ad go up 60-90 based on my current health. it also does scale with stuff like judgement Ace in the Hole Nimbus Strike auto attacks ect.

How to feel awesome while using Atma's.
1. Start a bot game.
2. Pick Sion.
3. Farm for X amount of time (with Enrage toggled on).
4. Buy 5 Warmogs and 1 Atmas.
5. Have as much AD you want.

I love this item. I rarely see this on a ranged AD carry. Seems viable especially for the uber squishy ones like Twitch or Miss Fortune? I understand the Unique does 2% of max health in AD but still the armor and crit chance alone seem good enough...Meh I assume there are better items...but perhaps in the right situation.
