Effects
- Pull Their Strings (unique): Basic attacks on-hit against enemy champions apply a Puppeteer stack for 15 seconds, stacking up to 4 times. The fourth stack against a target consumes them all to render the target berserk for 2 seconds, causing them to gain 50% (+ 150% of your heal and shield power) bonus attack speed and 40% bonus movement speed (25 second cooldown). If only one champion is alive on the enemy team, instead fear the target for the same duration.
- pass2: Granting yourself or an ally a heal, shield, or ability-sourced buff reduces the cooldown of Pull Their Strings by 5 seconds, once per cast.3

Tips
- For a heal and shield power build, take Puppeteer with Angel of Retribution and Protein Shake, then build Sword of Blossoming Dawn and Echoes of Helia before tank items.5
- With Protein Shake, combine Puppeteer with Sword of Blossoming Dawn and build tank items.6
- Pair Puppeteer with Ethereal Weapon on Katarina and Shyvana.7
- Puppeteer is stronger with AP than AD, is less effective early when flat AP or AD is low, and is very strong with Vulnerability.8
Interactions
- Immobilizing an enemy champion with Pull Their Strings does not grant Reverberation stacks.9 Patch unknown
- Sacrifice's heal does not trigger Pull Their Strings' cooldown reduction.10 Patch unknown
- With Terminus and omnivamp, basic attacks can reduce Pull Their Strings' cooldown; life steal might also work.1112
- Blitzcrank's R lightning with Ethereal Weapon repeatedly applies Puppeteer stacks until the fourth on-hit triggers.13
- With Puppeteer, omnivamp and on-hit passives, attacks refresh stacks on some champions, including Janna and Teemo, but not Kai'Sa.14
- Puppeteer does not seem to work with Rite of Ruin.15
