Heartsteel — How Colossal Consumption Stacks
3,000gold
Restores Health on kill or assist
Heartsteel stacks Health permanently: stay near an enemy champion for a few seconds and your next attack deals 70 plus 6% of your max Health as bonus damage, and 10% of that damage becomes permanent max Health. Patch 26.11 raised that share from 8% back to 10%. The 3,000-gold item gives 900 Health; junglers took 49%.
What it grants
- 900 Health
- 100% Base Health Regen
Passives
- Colossal Consumption: (0s) per targetIf an enemy champion is nearby for a few seconds, your next Attack against them deals 70 plus 6% of your max Health as bonus physical damage and grants 10% of the damage as max Health.
- Goliath: For each 1000 max Health, gain 3% increased size, up to 30%.

Patch 26.112026-05-27
- Damage To Permanent Health Conversion Rate8%to10%
Why, in Riot's words
Heartsteel has slowly fallen out of favor. With Mundo meta out of the way though, we're going to revert a nerf from a year ago since we feel the item occupies a really cool (and important) aspect of greedy tank itemization.
Patch 25.042025-02-19
- Colossal Consumption Max Health10% of damageto8% of damage
Why, in Riot's words
While very popular and the current poster child of frustrating tank items, we don't believe Heartsteel is actually quite as powerful as its reputation may suggest. The nerf here is meant to be fairly small as a result. That said, the high-end snowball cases for this item can get out of hand, so we're specifically going after the best-case scenarios where it gains over 1000 bonus HP and feeds into all the other HP scaling.
