Fiddlesticks' Abilities

A Harmless Scarecrow Fiddlesticks's Passive

900

Fiddlesticks begins the game with an exclusive Scarecrow Effigy, which permanently occupies its trinket slot. Fiddlesticks can pretend to be an Effigy, after standing still for 2 seconds, adjusting its body into a scarecrow and extending its arm out to expose its lantern. Its health bar is also hidden to enemies while idle, similarly to an Effigy.

From level 6 onward, placing an Effigy also summons a demonic eyeball at the location that grants obscured vision of enemy units in the area for 6 seconds, which also reveals and disables enemy wards and stealthed traps.

Terrify Fiddlesticks's Q Ability

575

15 / 14.5 / 14 / 13.5 / 13

While Fiddlesticks is out of combat for at least 2.5 seconds and is unseen by any enemy champion, all enemy units are affected by Dread. Fiddlesticks' next damaging ability against an enemy affected by Dread will fear them for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 seconds. If Fiddlesticks casts Bountiful Harvest or Reap while pretending to be an Effigy, enemies hit will be feared as if it were unseen.

Fiddlesticks hurls a crow at the target enemy. After a 0.4 second travel time, the target takes 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% (+2% per 100 ability power) of target's current health in magic damage and is feared for a short duration. Terrify has a minimum damage threshold and is capped at 400 against monsters.

Enemies can only be feared by Terrify's passive once every few seconds. Terrify's active damage and minimum damage threshold are doubled if its target has recently been feared, Feared enemies are slowed by 90%.

Bountiful Harvest Fiddlesticks's W Ability

575

10 / 9.5 / 9 / 8.5 / 8

Fiddlesticks tethers itself to all nearby enemies and channels for up to 2 seconds. While channeling, tethered enemies are revealed as it siphons their souls, dealing 15 / 22.5 / 30 / 37.5 / 45 (+8.25% of ability power) in magic damage to them every 0.25 seconds, with the last tick dealing (+12 / 14.5 / 17 / 19.5 / 22% of target's missing health) in additional magic damage. Total damage is reduced to 50% against minions.

Fiddlesticks heals itself for 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% of the pre-mitigation damage dealt, reduced to 15% against minions.

If all targets break their tethers by moving out of range, the ability ends immediately. If the ability is fully channeled or all targets are slain, 60% of the remaining cooldown is refunded.

Reap Fiddlesticks's E Ability

850

10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6

Fiddlesticks swings with its scythe in a crescent-shaped area on the target location, dealing 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+50% of ability power) magic damage and slowing enemies hit for 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% for 1.25 seconds.

Enemies hit in the center of the area are also silenced for 1.25 seconds.

Crowstorm Fiddlesticks's Ultimate (R) Ability

800

100

140 / 110 / 80 / 80 / 80

After channeling for 1.5 seconds, Fiddlesticks blinks to the target location with a murder of crows flying wildly around it for 5 seconds, dealing 31.25 / 56.25 / 81.25 (+11.25% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies every 0.25 seconds for a total of 625 / 1125 / 1625 (+225% of ability power) magic damage.
