What else would you want as a tank than tanky stats? That's right. One of the sickest passives that are currently wandering around the Rift. Check out what the item is capable of in the following list:

  • 10 AH
  • 55 armor
  • 400 health
  • Anguish: Every 7 seconds in combat with champions, deal 30-50 (based on level)(+3% bonus health) magic damage to enemy champions within 650 units and heal yourself equal to 250% of the post-mitigation damage dealt.

Despite its nerf for its passive, going from 5 seconds to 7 seconds in combat with champions, champs with this item should not be taken lighthearted. For each additional enemy within your radius, you'll get tons of heals, letting you survive for ages in longer teamfights.

Unending Despair: Build

  • Chain Vest (item + 500 gold)
    • Cloth Armor (300 gold)
  • Kindlegem (items + 150 gold)
    • Ruby Crystal (400 gold)
    • Glowing Mote (250 gold)
  • Ruby Crystal (400 gold)
  • 800 gold

Champions That Should Build Unending Despair

Unending Despair synergizes great with Abyssal Mask and Spirit Visage. Therefore, AP tanks like Amumu are great champs who can build this item combined with the other items just mentioned. Other good examples (even if they don't build Abyssal Mask or Spirit Visage) are Mundo, Sejuani or Tahm Kench.
