Ornn Champion Abilities

Living Forge

Ornn increases bonus armor, bonus magic resistance and bonus health by 10% from all sources, further increased by 4% each time he upgrades a Mythic item into a Masterwork item.
Ornn can spend gold to forge non-consumable items anywhere.

When Ornn reaches level 13, he will upgrade his mythic item into masterwork items for himself. For each level after 13, Ornn can upgrade a mythic item for any ally by going near them and clicking on them.

Ornn gains an additional 10% bonus health, armor and magic resistance from all sources. This value increases by 4% of these bonus stats per mythic item Ornn upgrades into a masterwork.

Ornn can smith items directly from his forge menu or the shop. P

Volcanic Rupture

Ornn slams his hammer into the ground, sending a fissure in the target direction that stops early if an enemy champion is hit, dealing 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+ 1.1 per total attack damage) physical damage and slowing enemies hit by 40% for 2 seconds.

After a 1.5 second delay, an impassable magma pillar erupts at maximum range for 4 seconds. Q

Bellows Breath

Ornn stomps forward Unstoppably while breathing fire, dealing 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16% of the target's max health as magic damage over a few seconds. Enemies hit by the final bout of flame become Brittle for 3 seconds.

Immobilizing effects on Brittle targets have their duration increased by 30% and deal additional magic damage. Ornn's Attacks against Brittle targets knock them back, dealing the additional damage. W

Searing Charge

Ornn charges forward, dealing 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+ 40% bonus armor) (+ 40% bonus magic resistance) physical damage to enemies he passes through. Upon colliding with terrain, the dash stops and creates a shockwave, knocking up nearby enemies for 1 second.

Magma pillars and terrain created by enemy champions caught in the shockwave are destroyed. E

Call of the Forge God

Ornn summons a massive lava elemental, which stampedes towards him, dealing 125 / 175 / 225 (+20% of ability power), and applying Brittle for 3 seconds. The elemental also slows enemies by 60%.

Ornn can recast to dash with a headbutt. If he dashes into the elemental, he redirects and empowers it, causing it to knock up the first champion for 1 second and subsequent champions for 0.5 seconds. The elemental also deals 125 / 175 / 225 (+20% of ability power) magic damage and reapplies Brittle. R

Ornn Tips and Tricks

Hold on to your dash (E) unless you’re planning to fight. You never know when that dash could save your life. In team fights, use your Ultimate (R) aggressively to start the action, but only if your teammates are in a position to follow up. And whenever you get the chance, remember to upgrade your allies’ items with your Passive.

The Best Ornn Builds, Runes and Items for Top

For Ornn's Summoner Spells, Flash and Teleport are generally the best choices. Flash provides great mobility for positioning, while Teleport helps you impact other lanes or join your team quickly.

When it comes to runes, Grasp of the Undying is your keystone, giving you extra sustain in lane. For the rest of your primary tree, go for Demolish, Bone Plating, and Overgrowth. These will help with laning, survivability, and scaling. For the secondary tree, Biscuit Delivery and Magical Footwear provide sustain and utility. Rune shards should focus on Attack Speed for better trading, Health Scaling for more tankiness, and Health Scaling in defense, depending on your matchup.

As for your items, begin with Sunfire Aegis as your first item for tankiness and damage. Next, grab Plated Steelcaps for durability, and Thornmail to further improve your survivability against basic attackers. For the final three items, build Jak'Sho, The Protean to boost your tankiness and damage, Unending Despair for more resistances, and Kaenic Rookern to complete your build.

Situational Ornn Runes and Items

In different game contexts, matchups, or based on your team’s needs, you may want to adjust your build. For example, rune shards can be swapped to Armor or Magic Resist depending on whether you're laning against an AD or AP champion. Always assess your game situation and adapt your build accordingly.
