Daily Challenge explained — November 3, 2026

The idea

An ability does not have one fixed cooldown: it is listed per rank, and ranking the ability up usually shortens it. Neighbouring ranks are different answers, so the rank named in the question is part of the fact you are recalling.

The question as asked

What is the rank 1 cooldown of Rengar W - Battle Roar?

• A.14.5 seconds
• B.16 seconds(correct answer)
• C.22 seconds
• D.20 seconds

The explanation

Rengar W - Battle Roar has a rank 1 cooldown of 16 seconds (16 / 14.5 / 13 / 11.5 / 10 across its ranks).

The idea

Base stats are what a champion has before items, runes and other bonuses are added. Two champions can differ clearly in a stat such as health, armor or attack range, and those differences shape how each one trades in lane.

The question as asked

At level 1, which champion has more base mana: Brand or Braum?

• A.Brand(correct answer)
• B.Braum

The explanation

Brand has 469 and Braum has 311 base mana at level 1, so Brand is higher.

The question as asked

Order these champions by Attack Range

• A.Brand
• B.Caitlyn
• C.Morgana
• D.Talon

Correct answer: Caitlyn > Brand > Morgana > Talon

The explanation

Attack Range, Highest to Lowest: Caitlyn 650 range, Brand 550 range, Morgana 450 range, Talon 125 range

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The idea

Smite's timing involves three separate ideas that are easy to merge: how long a charge takes to come back, the short lockout between two casts, and the moment the recharge clock starts. Telling them apart is what lets you plan Smite for a contested objective.

The question as asked

You are holding two Smite charges and you cast one. What is the shortest time before you can cast Smite again?

• A.15 seconds(correct answer)
• B.90 seconds
• C.60 seconds
• D.10 seconds

The explanation

With a charge already banked you are not waiting on the 90 seconds recharge — you are waiting on the 15 seconds lockout between casts. Smite holds up to 2 charges, and that lockout is what stops you spending both at once.

The question as asked

What is the cooldown of Kha'Zix Q - Taste Their Fear?

• A.7 seconds
• B.6 seconds
• C.8 seconds
• D.4 seconds(correct answer)

The explanation

Kha'Zix Q - Taste Their Fear has a cooldown of 4 seconds at every rank.

The idea

Experience from minion waves arrives in a fixed order, so a champion reaches each early level at a particular wave. Which wave that is can depend on how many champions share the lane's experience, which is why a level breakpoint is a fact about the wave and the lane, not about the clock.

The question as asked

After clearing wave 9 in a duo lane with no missed XP, are you level 5 yet?

• A.No
• B.Yes(correct answer)

The explanation

Assuming no XP is missed, a duo lane reaches level 5 in wave 9 (4:30). Wave 9 is at or after that, so yes.

The idea

Every minion wave gives a fixed amount of experience to the champions who share it, so a laner who takes every minion reaches each early level on a predictable wave rather than at a set minute. Cannon minions are worth more experience than the others, which is why some level-ups line up with cannon waves.

The question as asked

Find the first cannon wave where a solo laner is at least Level 5.

• A.Wave 1 (0:30)
• B.Wave 2 (1:00)
• C.Wave 3 (1:30) · cannon
• D.Wave 4 (2:00)
• E.Wave 5 (2:30)
• F.Wave 6 (3:00) · cannon(correct answer)
• G.Wave 7 (3:30)
• H.Wave 8 (4:00)
• I.Wave 9 (4:30) · cannon
• J.Wave 10 (5:00)
• 11.Wave 11 (5:30)
• 12.Wave 12 (6:00) · cannon
• 13.Wave 13 (6:30)
• 14.Wave 14 (7:00)
• 15.Wave 15 (7:30) · cannon

The explanation

A solo laner reaches Level 5 at Wave 6 (3:00) · cannon: 1824 XP, threshold 1720 XP; Level 5 (3rd caster in wave). The wave before, Wave 5 (2:30), is Level 4 with 1470 XP.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

With no turret advantage, how much bonus damage do your minions deal to enemy minions for each level of average-team-level advantage?

• A.20% per level
• B.10% per level
• C.5% per level(correct answer)
• D.15% per level

The explanation

Bonus damage is (5% + 5% × turret advantage in that lane) × average-team-level advantage. With no turret advantage in the lane the turret term is zero, leaving 5% for each level of average-team-level advantage (patch 26.15).

The idea

An item's stats are exact numbers, and similar-looking items often differ in them. Because the numbers can change between patches, the patch an answer was written for matters.

The question as asked

How much Health does Randuin's Omen give?

• A.375
• B.325
• C.400
• D.350(correct answer)

The explanation

Randuin's Omen gives 350 Health.

The question as asked

Which of these item effects has the longest cooldown: Zhonya's Hourglass — Time Stop, Shurelya's Battlesong — Inspiring Speech, Youmuu's Ghostblade — Wraith Step, Sterak's Gage — Lifeline?

• A.Zhonya's Hourglass — Time Stop(correct answer)
• B.Shurelya's Battlesong — Inspiring Speech
• C.Youmuu's Ghostblade — Wraith Step
• D.Sterak's Gage — Lifeline

The explanation

By cooldown: Youmuu's Ghostblade — Wraith Step (45 seconds); Shurelya's Battlesong — Inspiring Speech (75 seconds); Sterak's Gage — Lifeline (90 seconds); Zhonya's Hourglass — Time Stop (120 seconds). Zhonya's Hourglass — Time Stop is longest.

The question as asked

A champion has 60 armor and buys Chain Vest, which gives 40 armor (now 100 armor). Ignore penetration and every other effect. After the purchase, their armor reduces incoming physical damage by what percent? Round to the nearest whole percent.

• A.13%
• B.38%
• C.29%
• D.50%(correct answer)

The explanation

Damage reduced by armor = armor / (100 + armor). 100 / 200 = 50.0%, so 50%.

The idea

Every item has a shop price. The price of a finished item includes the cost of the components it is built from, and a recipe adds a combine fee on top where one applies. Knowing prices lets you decide on a recall whether you can afford a finished item or should buy components.

The question as asked

How much does Bandleglass Mirror cost?

• A.1200 gold
• B.950 gold
• C.1000 gold
• D.900 gold(correct answer)

The explanation

Bandleglass Mirror costs 900 gold.

The question as asked

Rebuild the recipe: Shurelya's Battlesong

Correct answer: Aether Wisp + Bandleglass Mirror

The explanation

Shurelya's Battlesong (2200 gold) = Aether Wisp + Bandleglass Mirror + 400 gold combine cost

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The idea

Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.

The question as asked

Ivern E - Triggerseed has a rank 5 cooldown of 7 seconds. With Redemption, what is its cooldown?

• A.5.6 seconds
• B.5.8 seconds
• C.6.1 seconds(correct answer)
• D.6 seconds

The explanation

Ivern E - Triggerseed has a cooldown of 7 seconds at rank 5. Redemption grants 15 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 15 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 7 seconds x 100 / (100 + 15) = 6.1 seconds.

1. 7 × 100 / (100 + 15) = 6.1 s

• Why not 5.8 seconds? The cooldown with a different first item.
• Why not 6 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.

The question as asked

How long does Dragon take to respawn?

• A.2:30
• B.2:15
• C.5:00(correct answer)
• D.6:00

The explanation

Dragon respawns 5:00 after it is cleared (patch 26.15). The clock starts on the death of the last living monster in the camp, not the large monster. Once the large monster dies, remaining lesser monsters are marked for death and die automatically after 10 seconds out of combat with champions.

The question as asked

How much extra gold does the completed Bot quest grant per champion takedown?

• A.50 gold
• B.40 gold(correct answer)
• C.30 gold
• D.60 gold

The explanation

The completed Bot quest grants 40 additional gold per champion takedown.

The idea

Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.

The question as asked

Lucian R - The Culling has a rank 1 cooldown of 110 seconds. With Essence Reaver, what is its cooldown?

• A.88 seconds
• B.91.7 seconds(correct answer)
• C.75 seconds
• D.83.3 seconds

The explanation

Lucian R - The Culling has a cooldown of 110 seconds at rank 1. Essence Reaver grants 20 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 20 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 110 seconds x 100 / (100 + 20) = 91.7 seconds.

1. 110 × 100 / (100 + 20) = 91.7 s

• Why not 88 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.

The idea

An item's stats are exact numbers, and similar-looking items often differ in them. Because the numbers can change between patches, the patch an answer was written for matters.

The question as asked

How much Health does Hollow Radiance give?

• A.420
• B.410
• C.380
• D.400(correct answer)

The explanation

Hollow Radiance gives 400 Health.

The question as asked

Which item costs more gold? Hollow Radiance or Void Staff?

• A.Hollow Radiance
• B.Void Staff(correct answer)

The explanation

Void Staff has 3,000 gold and Hollow Radiance has 2,800 gold, so Void Staff is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

Which item gives more Magic Resist? Abyssal Mask or Hollow Radiance?

• A.Abyssal Mask(correct answer)
• B.Hollow Radiance

The explanation

Abyssal Mask has 45 MR and Hollow Radiance has 40 MR, so Abyssal Mask is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

• A.Nasus(correct answer)
• B.Vex

The explanation

Nasus has 2,155 HP and Vex has 2,095 HP at level 16, so Nasus is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

After completing the Top quest, what XP bonus applies to sources other than champion takedowns?

• A.+8%
• B.+11%(correct answer)
• C.+12.5%
• D.+15%

The explanation

The completed Top quest grants 11% bonus XP from sources other than champion takedowns.

The question as asked

Two inhibitors are down, including this lane's inhibitor. How many total minions are in this lane's enemy wave after 30 minutes?

• A.8
• B.5
• C.7
• D.6(correct answer)

The explanation

Wave 96 (39:50) is 3 melee + 2 caster + 0 cannon + 1 super = 6 total, with 2 inhibitor(s) down including this lane (patch 26.15).
