    Grasp of the Undying

    Every 4s your next attack on a champion deals bonus magic damage, heals you, and permanently increases your health.

    Grasp of the Undying

    Every 4s in combat, your next basic attack on a champion will:

  2. Deal bonus magic damage equal to 3.5% of your max health
  3. Heal you for 1.3% of your max health
  4. Permanently increase your health by 5
    Ranged Champions: Damage, healing, and permanent health gained are 60% effective.

Why?

Ornn is often trading in lane with Brittle empowered auto-attacks, making Grasp a great choice for additional damage and sustain.

    Why?

    Conditioning's double bonus resists synergizes well with Orn''s [E] damage as well as role as a front-line tank. **Oppressive lanes:** If you're playing into an incredibly oppressive lane (Teemo) Second Wind here will help you survive lane a lot more safely.

      Cooldown: 90 - 40 seconds
      Shield: 45 - 120 + 12.5% of your ability power + 8% of your bonus health
      Proc Threshold: 90 - 250 postmitigation damage
