Each bar is scaled against the highest value of that stat on any item in the game — the faint number at the end of the track is that maximum.

Passives and actives

Unique PassiveEngulf
Basic Attacks deal 8% of the target's current HP as extra physical damage (capped at 60 against minions).
Unique PassiveDevour
Basic Attacks grant 2% Lifesteal for 3 seconds (stacks up to 5 times).

When to build it

Counters stacked-HP tanks and bruisers: Engulf deals 8% of the target's current HP as bonus physical damage per auto-attack, ignoring flat defense scaling. Buy on attack-speed marksmen once the enemy frontline is building pure HP, usually item 3-4.
