Runaan’s Hurricane

Runaan’s Hurricane is a 2,650 gold crit item in League of Legends that spreads your attacks across several enemies: 40% Attack Speed, 25% Critical Strike Chance and 5% Move Speed in patch 26.21. Its Wind’s Fury passive makes each attack fire bolts at 2 additional enemies near your target, and those bolts apply on-hit effects.

What does Wind’s Fury do?

Every attack you make also fires bolts at up to 2 other enemies close to your main target. Each bolt deals physical damage and applies your on-hit effects, so anything that triggers on hit (from other items or your own kit) now triggers on several targets at once.

The bolt damage is smaller than a normal attack; Riot’s data leaves the exact share to the tooltip in the client. Where the passive really pays off is in teamfights and wave clear. A marksman standing behind their frontline can hit the tank in front and still chip the enemy carries behind it, and a stacked minion wave dies in a fraction of the attacks.

Objective fights are where it shines most. Around dragon or Baron, both teams squeeze into a small pit, so almost every attack you fire has 2 extra targets standing right next to it, and the bolts keep chipping the enemy backline while your main attacks stay on whoever is closest. Positioning gets easier too, since you no longer have to walk forward to reach the carry.

Can the bolts crit? The data text doesn’t say either way, so this is one for the in-game tooltip too (it’s the sort of detail Riot changes quietly in effect-text updates).

Is Runaan’s Hurricane gold efficient?

A little under break-even on stats, at 90%. All three stats can be priced: 2,375 gold of stats inside a 2,650 gold item.

Per stat, against same-patch basic items: 40% Attack Speed at 25 gold per percent is 1,000 gold, 25% crit chance at 40 gold per percent is 1,000, and 5% Move Speed at 75 gold per percent is 375. The rest is the price of Wind’s Fury. Honestly, against a team that groups up, the extra bolts are worth far more than the gap, and against a split-pushing team that never stands together, they’re worth very little.

What goes into it?

Two parts make it: Zeal at 1,200 gold plus Scout’s Slingshot at 600, and 850 gold more to finish. Funny enough, that’s the same pair of components as Fiendhunter Bolts, so a marksman holding both parts can still choose between area damage and ultimate-based crits at the last moment. Zeal first is the safer order, since its 15% crit and 4% Move Speed already cover two of the finished item’s three stats.

Nothing builds out of it.

How has it changed over time?

Riot’s data has it from 2013. Patch 11.1 removed its Attack Damage and dropped the price sharply, and the version since then has been tuned mostly through cost and Move Speed:

• Patch 13.10: cost 2,600 → 2,800 gold, Attack Speed 45% → 40%, effect text changed.
• Patch 14.10: cost 2,800 → 2,600 gold, crit chance 20% → 25%.
• Patch 14.19: Move Speed down from 7% to 4%, price up by 50 to 2,650 gold.
• Patch 26.16: Move Speed 4% → 5%.

Small changes, mostly. Put simply, the 26.16 Move Speed bump is the only stat change in two years, so the item you buy today is close to the 14.19 version.

Who should build Runaan’s Hurricane?

Crit and on-hit marksmen who benefit from hitting several targets, especially into teams that group up for objectives. It also speeds up farming, because each attack on a wave hits up to 2 extra minions.

Who should skip it? Champions who need single-target burst, and marksmen facing a team that rarely clumps together. A crit carry worried about getting caught might take Phantom Dancer instead for the mobility. Look, it comes down to how fights look in your games: if the enemy stands in a line in front of you, Runaan’s Hurricane turns every attack into three.
