Notes[]
- If Banshee's Veil is up and you activate Spell Shield, Shroud of Darkness or
Edge of Night, both shields will pop when hit by an ability. - Banshee's Veil does not negate summoner spells.
- Banshee's Veil will not block passive damage over time effects from abilities.
- Banshee's Veil's passive carries over to clones.
- Banshee's Veil's Dominion counterpart was
Odyn's Veil. - Some of Baron Nashor's abilities and the Dragons' attacks will pop the shield.
- When Banshee's Veil is purchased on Malzahar, the shield will be added on top of Malzahar's Void Shift, resulting in two protective shields. When Malzahar is attacked only one shield will break, being left with another one.

Patch History[]
Ability power increased.
Fiendish Codex is being tuned up in overall ability power to match Lost Chapter.
v7.11
Cost increased. Magic resist increased.
Given the potent defense a spell shield offers in lane, we want to ensure Banshee’s Veil doesn’t come online too early and that enemies have a chance to fight Veil buyers while they’re vulnerable. A cost increase hits both goals at once: buyers need more time to earn the extra gold and are left sitting on just Null-Magic Mantle for longer. That said, we don’t think Veil needs a flat-out nerf, so we’re keeping it competitive at its new cost.
v7.9
Now a mage item! Health removed, ability power added.
For tanks, Banshee’s Veil isn’t bought for being Banshee’s Veil, it’s bought because it’s another Spirit Visage stat line. When it comes down to it, a spell shield is a much more carry-oriented ability, because tanks won’t instantly die if caught out by stray crowd control. We’re reworking Banshee’s Veil’s statline to make it more enticing to carries.
v6.9
Health and cost down. Recipe changed.
Banshee’s Veil offers an entirely unique effect in the item lineup, but its similar price-point and statline to Spirit Visage do more harm than good for BV’s chances of actually being purchased. Normally too expensive compared to its cousin, we’re shrinking Veil to be the earlier buy that guards against a burst mage gone wild, with an accordingly slimmer stat line. This makes it less effective in a full item build if you’re aiming for pure defense, but more accessible for those in need of a spell shield on a budget.
v5.16
brace yourselves
Crystalline Bracer’s a neat but underused component, so we’re stickin’ it into more items.
v4.13
Banshee's Veil takes longer to recharge
- "The low cooldown on Banshee's Veil's spell shield allows it to be 'up' for the arrival of every new minion wave, which makes it a little too strong in evenly matched scenarios where one team is trying to siege out the other under a tower. "

25 seconds⇒ 40 seconds
