First cast at 6.00 s with 0.70 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
  1. Mana reaches 40/40: the cast starts and the mana lock goes on (no mana from attacks, ticks or damage taken).
  2. 0.00 to 0.60 s: cast window. The unit plays its cast animation and its return to idle; it cannot auto attack.
  3. 0.60 to 2.10 s: channel. Still mana locked, still no attacks.
  4. 2.10 s: unlock. Mana starts again (overflow kept) and a fresh attack starts from zero; it lands at 2.40 s at base attack speed (the attack delay is 21% of the attack animation).
  5. Attack loop: the attack lands at 21% of the attack animation (mana granted) and unlocks at 40%; a cast that becomes possible at the landing starts at that unlock point, cutting the rest of the attack.
  6. Mana gain: 7 per attack and 2 per second; combat starts at 0/40.
  7. Overflow is banked: mana past 40 from attacks or regen is kept through the cast (38/40 plus 7 casts and comes back with 5). Same rule for every champion; only the amounts differ by role.

// Damage calculation

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: Karma, Blossom Lux, Yorick, Yunara, Master Yi, Ahri, Sett, Ashe.

// Itemized Roles

Ranged AD SupportSituationalLast WhisperRed BuffSpear of Shojin

1-cost ranged AP Caster (game role tag, range 4). It can hold the team Sunder and Burn items for an AD comp; its own AP damage does not profit from the debuff. Mana lock 2.10 s per cast against a 6.0 s fill (26% locked). Casts per minute at base speed 7.4; with Spear of Shojin 10.3, Blue Buff 10.7, a +45% attack speed item 9. Blue Buff and Spear of Shojin are within 4% 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 third item that adds the most calculated damage for Karma (392 DPS at 2 stars against three 2-star tanks). Ionic Spark, Evenshroud and Sunfire Cape are left out: at range 4 their aura would not reach the enemies.
