Guardian AngelUse Orb of Deception, Fox-Fire, Charm, Spirit Rush as the historical kit reference, then verify live cooldowns, costs and ratios before applying this item direction.
Historical reference only. No launch-client skill order, rune page, mastery page, matchup or performance claim has been verified.
Setup direction
A historical Season 3 reference framework for mana-based mages that need spell power, penetration and reliable casting windows.
Use this as a reading map for classic mid-lane mages, not as a claim about the launch meta.
Entity-specific checks
Riot confirms a 60-champion launch composition, but the complete name list used here is a community-datamined League Wiki observation. Ahri's individual roster slot is therefore labelled community-datamined until Riot publishes or the launch client verifies it.
No. The displayed historical references come from Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5; observed and launch-verified value fields remain null.
No. It is a Riot-authored historical item direction with no win-rate, Tier or launch-match sample claim.
