From the mana bar filling until mana can come in again. No mana comes in during this time.
0/25- attack animation
- attack lands
- attack recovery
- cast window (mana locked)
- effect
First cast at 3.33 s with 0.75 attacks per second. Items, traits and damage taken change the mana pace; the cast, effect and channel windows do not.
Step by step, in words
- Mana reaches 25/25: the cast starts and the mana lock goes on (no mana from attacks, ticks or damage taken).
- 0.00 to 0.80 s: cast window. The unit plays its cast animation and its return to idle; it cannot auto attack.
- 0.27 s: the ability's effect fires (projectile launch, damage, shield...).
- 0.80 s: unlock. Mana starts again (overflow kept) and a fresh attack starts from zero; it lands at 1.18 s at base attack speed (the attack delay is 28% of the attack animation).
- Attack loop: the attack lands at 28% of the attack animation (mana granted) and unlocks at 50%; a cast that becomes possible at the landing starts at that unlock point, cutting the rest of the attack.
- Mana gain: 10 per attack; combat starts at 0/25.
- Overflow is banked: mana past 25 from attacks or regen is kept through the cast (23/25 plus 10 casts and comes back with 8). Same rule for every champion; only the amounts differ by role.

Measured at 2 stars on a level 8 board the Trait Explorer builds around its traits (optimal tall, its traits at their lowest breakpoint, teammates at 2 stars without items, positioned by role), against a level 8 enemy comp (Elderwood Lux, Ornn, Xayah, Alistar, LeBlanc, Hecarim, Ezreal, Gnar: 3 tanks, 1 melee, 4 ranged, 2 stars), over 20 seconds of combat with real cast times, mana lock and item effects.
Its board: Akali, Inferno Lux, Pebbles, Gromp, Murkwolf, Diana, Brambleback, Sentinel.
// Survivability
Alone, no items, 2 stars: its own damage against a 30 armor / 30 magic resist dummy, and what it soaks under 600 damage per second, half physical, from 4 attackers, over 20 s.

Last Whisper
Red Buff
Hand of Justice1-cost melee AD Fighter (game role tag, range 1). Melee damage dealers take the melee support set: team debuffs plus a survival item. Mana lock 0.80 s per cast against a 3.7 s fill (18% locked). Casts per minute at base speed 13.3; with Spear of Shojin 18.8, Blue Buff 19.8, a +45% attack speed item 17.9. Blue Buff and Spear of Shojin are within 5% of each other, so either keeps the loop rolling; the default mana-per-attack set stays. One Sunder item and one Burn item for the team, plus the survival item that keeps this melee unit alive longest while dealing the most calculated damage for Akali (278 DPS at 2 stars against three 2-star tanks). Burn item Red Buff: its attacks benefit from the attack speed. Adaptor: only builds that keep the AD form were ranked.
