Shattered Armguard — Seeker's Armguard After It Breaks

1,600gold

Upgrades to stopwatch

Shattered Armguard is the broken Seeker's Armguard: the same 1,600-gold price, the same 40 Ability Power and 25 Armor, and it can still be upgraded into Zhonya's Hourglass. Its Shattered Time passive is the catch — after you break one Armguard, the shopkeeper will only sell you Shattered Armguard. Mid laners took 45.1% of them across 13,154 games.
