Voltaic Cyclosword balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Voltaic Cyclosword in 2 patches. The latest is patch 26.10, published 2026-05-12.

  1. Patch 26.102026-05-12

    • Total Cost2900gto3000g
    Why, in Riot's words

    Following its adjustments and the removal of Opportunity, we expected Voltaic Cyclosword to see more play. We’re happy to see it making an impact on the meta, but are lowering its power slightly by increasing its price tag.

  2. Patch 26.92026-04-28

    • Unique Passive - Galvanize: Damaging enemy champions with abilities will trigger Energized if it is ready
    • Unique Passive - Firmament: Your Energized trigger grants you [15 Melee | 12 Ranged] Lethality for 4s and deals bonus physical damage equal to [9% Melee | 7% Ranged] of the target's current health. This bonus damage is capped to 200 against non-champions.
    • Cost3000gto2900g
    • Lethality18to10
    Why, in Riot's words

    Voltaic Cyclosword brings some cool Energized options to AD casters, but we think we can make it even broader by allowing it to open up the strict auto-attack gate that stops many melees from being good with it. We also don't love the slow effect, as it tended to trivialize a lot of the combat once players did manage to get into melee. With Opportunity removed, Voltaic should also be able to stand as the premier "upfront burst" item for AD casters.
