Early

Mobility + HP regen

Core

The most important Lion item. If you aren`t going for a full utility, you can delay it, but mobility is still essential for your initiation.

Even while you don`t really need much mana, this addition to your mana pool is pretty useful, while also providing significant range increase.

Situational Early

Potential self-save against physical damage

Utility

Additional armor, mana pool, attack speed slow

Potential save against physical damage

Additional armor and ability to purge debuffs from allies

Natural medallion upgrade. Good against autoattacking cores.

Lategame

It`s good for utility build due to its stats, cooldown reduction and damage increase. Altho, we aren`t really focused on this aspect of Lion.
