Doran's Blade — Stats, and How It Compares With Doran's Bow

450gold

Good starting item for attackers

Doran's Blade is a 450-gold start: 10 Attack Damage, 80 Health and 2.5% Omnivamp, and it builds into nothing. Doran's Bow costs 50 less and swaps the Health for 15% Attack Speed, with 8 AD and 1.5% Omnivamp. Patch 25.21 put Blade back on omnivamp so ability users heal from it too; top laners were 62% of its holders in our count.

What it grants

  • 10 Attack Damage
  • 80 Health
  • 2.5% Omnivamp

Not priced, because Riot sells no single-stat item for omnivamp — so this figure covers the rest.

Doran's Blade balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Doran's Blade in 1 patch. The latest is patch 25.21, published 2025-10-21.

    • 3% Lifesteal removed.
    • newHeal for 2.5% of damage dealt (reduced to 33% of this value for area of effect spells and pet spells)
    Why, in Riot's words

    We're moving Doran's Blade back to its 14.1 version with omnivamp because the item is meant to serve more than just attackers, but instead a wide range of AD champions, such as those who rely on abilities do deal their damage.
