History

Riot patch notes that name Shark Bait, newest first

Patch	Date	Changes
26.19	22 Sep 2026	At the end of the duration, a massive shark emerges from beneath you that lets out a powerful chomp in a 400 radius, dealing 120 - 350 (based on level) (+10 / 30% of the target's missing health) magic damage to all enemies within the area and knocking them up for 1 second. While under the zombie state, you are able to move and become invulnerable, untargetable, and immune to crowd control, but you are also rendered unable to declare basic attacks, cast abilities, use summoner spells, and activate items. At Max Level, everyone on your team will turn into a shark on death.⁹
