Daily Challenge explained — November 5, 2026

The question as asked

Does using a Control Ward enlarge a Faelight's bonus vision region?

• A.Yes, Control Wards double its radius
• B.No, ward type does not enlarge the region(correct answer)
• C.Yes, but only after 15 minutes
• D.Yes, if no allied ward is nearby

The explanation

The bonus region is determined by the Faelight, not by whether the ward is a Control Ward.

The question as asked

Rebuild the recipe: Staff of Flowing Water

Correct answer: Fiendish Codex + Forbidden Idol

The explanation

Staff of Flowing Water (2250 gold) = Fiendish Codex + Forbidden Idol + 800 gold combine cost

Worked out from the recorded question data.

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 attack damage: Cassiopeia or Cho'Gath?

• A.Cassiopeia
• B.Cho'Gath(correct answer)

The explanation

Cassiopeia has 53 and Cho'Gath has 69 base attack damage at level 1, so Cho'Gath is higher.

The question as asked

Does Minion Pushing update only when a new wave spawns?

• A.No(correct answer)
• B.Yes

The explanation

No — minions already on the map get the buff too, and every value re-evaluates whenever the average-team-level or lane turret advantage changes (patch 26.15).

The question as asked

When do the extra Scryer's Bloom locations become available?

• A.At the start of the game
• B.Only after Baron first spawns
• C.After the first inhibitor is destroyed
• D.At 15:00 or elemental rift transformation(correct answer)

The explanation

The added plant locations become available at 15:00 or upon elemental rift transformation.

The question as asked

Through what level does Support's stronger out-of-Bot-lane minion XP and gold penalty apply?

• A.Through level 4
• B.Through level 6
• C.Through level 3
• D.Through level 5(correct answer)

The explanation

The stronger out-of-Bot-lane penalty applies through level 5, reducing minion XP and gold by 33%.

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

If you didn't take Teleport, what is the cooldown of the free Teleport from the Top quest?

• A.390 seconds(correct answer)
• B.300 seconds
• C.420 seconds
• D.450 seconds

The explanation

The Top quest grants a free Teleport with a 390-second cooldown if you didn't select Teleport.

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 wave where a solo laner reaches Level 6.

• 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
• G.Wave 7 (3:30)
• H.Wave 8 (4:00)
• I.Wave 9 (4:30) · cannon(correct answer)
• 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 6 at Wave 9 (4:30) · cannon: 2736 XP, threshold 2400 XP; Level 6 (1st melee in wave). The wave before, Wave 8 (4:00), is Level 5 with 2382 XP.

The question as asked

How much gold do you save on one Control Ward after completing your Support Role Quest?

• A.25 gold
• B.40 gold
• C.35 gold(correct answer)
• D.45 gold

The explanation

The regular 75-gold price falls to 40 gold, saving 35 gold per Control Ward.

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

Kayle E - Starfire Spellblade has a rank 5 cooldown of 6 seconds. With Nashor's Tooth, what is its cooldown?

• A.5.1 seconds
• B.4.4 seconds
• C.5.2 seconds(correct answer)
• D.5.7 seconds

The explanation

Kayle E - Starfire Spellblade has a cooldown of 6 seconds at rank 5. Nashor's Tooth grants 15 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 15 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 6 seconds x 100 / (100 + 15) = 5.2 seconds.

1. 6 × 100 / (100 + 15) = 5.2 s

• Why not 5.1 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.

The idea

An ability's resource cost is set per rank, just like its cooldown, and it can change from one rank to the next. Knowing what a cast costs lets you judge how many casts your resource bar can afford.

The question as asked

How much mana does Malzahar Q - Call of the Void cost at rank 5?

• A.90
• B.85
• C.75
• D.80(correct answer)

The explanation

Malzahar Q - Call of the Void costs 80 mana at rank 5 (60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 across its ranks).

The question as asked

Which champion has more Health? (level 11) Morgana or Seraphine?

• A.Morgana(correct answer)
• B.Seraphine

Morgana has 1,543 HP and Seraphine has 1,404 HP at level 11, so Morgana is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

• A.Malzahar
• B.Tryndamere(correct answer)

The explanation

Tryndamere has 127 armor and Malzahar has 110 armor at level 20, so Tryndamere is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

Which champion has more Health? (level 11) Ornn or Zyra?

• A.Ornn(correct answer)
• B.Zyra

The explanation

Ornn has 1,616 HP and Zyra has 1,390 HP at level 11, so Ornn is higher.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

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 question as asked

A champion has 80 armor and buys Dead Man's Plate, which gives 55 armor (now 135 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.44%
• B.13%
• C.35%
• D.57%(correct answer)

The explanation

Damage reduced by armor = armor / (100 + armor). 135 / 235 = 57.4%, so 57%.

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 Dead Man's Plate give?

• A.345
• B.400
• C.350(correct answer)
• D.360

The explanation

Dead Man's Plate gives 350 Health.

The question as asked

An inhibitor turret is damaged to 50% of its maximum health. What percentage of maximum health can it regenerate back to?

• A.20%
• B.50%
• C.30%
• D.75%(correct answer)

The explanation

An inhibitor turret at 50% health regenerates to the next ceiling, 75%, under the canonical 30%/75%/100% regeneration thresholds (patch 26.15; rule effective 26.01, verified through 26.15).

The question as asked

A champion has 50 armor and buys Thornmail, which gives 75 armor (now 125 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.43%
• B.22%
• C.56%(correct answer)
• D.33%

The explanation

Damage reduced by armor = armor / (100 + armor). 125 / 225 = 55.6%, so 56%.

The idea

An ability's resource cost is set per rank, just like its cooldown, and it can change from one rank to the next. Knowing what a cast costs lets you judge how many casts your resource bar can afford.

The question as asked

How much mana does LeBlanc W - Distortion cost at rank 4?

• A.100
• B.80
• C.95
• D.90(correct answer)

The explanation

LeBlanc W - Distortion costs 90 mana at rank 4 (60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 across its ranks).

The question as asked

Order these champions by Attack Damage at level 18

• A.Alistar

Attack Damage (lvl 18), Highest to Lowest: Alistar 126 AD, Xin Zhao 114 AD, Diana 108 AD, LeBlanc 92 AD

Worked out from the recorded question data.

The question as asked

How much bonus AD and AP does the completed Mid quest grant?

• A.8% bonus AD and bonus AP(correct answer)
• B.6% bonus AD and bonus AP
• C.10% bonus AD and bonus AP
• D.8% total AD and total AP

The explanation

The completed Mid quest increases bonus AD and bonus AP by 8%. It does not increase base stats.

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

Rell W - Ferromancy: Crash Down has a cooldown of 10 seconds. With Zeke's Convergence, what is its cooldown?

• A.9.1 seconds(correct answer)
• B.8 seconds
• C.8.3 seconds
• D.9 seconds

The explanation

Rell W - Ferromancy: Crash Down has a cooldown of 10 seconds. Zeke's Convergence grants 10 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 10 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 10 seconds x 100 / (100 + 10) = 9.1 seconds. The base cooldown is the same at every rank.

1. 10 × 100 / (100 + 10) = 9.1 s

• Why not 8 seconds? Applies item haste that only affects a different ability slot.
• Why not 9 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.
