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

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
