Countercurrent: Gain 1 stacks of Countercurrent when Critically Struck by physical damage. Each stuck grants 5% Movement Speed and 5% slow resist. Max 4 stacks. 2800
Randuin's Omen TIPS: This item is built to counter crit-heavy builds. It provides a large health pool and armor while reducing damage from critical strikes, making you much tougher in head-on engagements. When you are critically struck, you gain stacks that boost your movement and slow resistance, helping you hold position and control fight spacing. — Perfect for tanks and bruisers who need to stand up to high-crit auto-attackers and survive extended teamfights.

Thorns: When struck by an attack, deal 20 + 6% bonus Armor + 1% bonus Health magic damage to the attacker.
Entwine: Apply 50% Grievous Wounds to enemy champions for 3 second(s) when stuck by their attacks or dealing damage to them.

Thornmail TIPS: This item reflects a portion of incoming physical damage back to attackers as magic damage and applies an effect that reduces enemy healing effectiveness. A strong pick versus teams with heavy auto-attack damage and sustain — ideal for tanks and bruisers who need to absorb focus and cut down opponent healing.
Dead Man's Plate
Increases Movement Speed +350 Max Health +70 Armor +4% Movement Speed
Momentum: Moving builds Momentum, granting up to 40 Move Speed at 100 stacks. Attacking removes all Momentum. Stacks decay when movement is impaired.
Crushing Blow: Attacks deal up to 100 bonus magic damage based on Momentum removed. Melee attacks with max Momentum slows by 75% for 1 second. 2800
Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.
Frozen Heart
Reduces enemy Attack Speed +80 Armor +400 Max Mana +20 Ability Haste
Winter's Caress: Reduce the Attack Speed of enemy champions within 650 units of you by 25%. 2550
Frozen Heart TIPS: This item combines a large amount of Armor, additional Mana, and Ability Haste, providing strong protection against physical damage. Nearby enemy champions have their Attack Speed reduced, making it especially effective against marksmen and other opponents who rely heavily on frequent basic attacks. An excellent choice for tanks and fighters against attack-focused team compositions.
