Notes[edit]
- Death's Dance bleed will interrupt channels that are interrupted by damage, and delay abilities that are delayed by damage.
- Death's Dance unique 'life steal' also applies on physical on-hit effects.
Conqueror or 
Infinity Edge can actually decrease Death's Dance's efficiency as potential physical damage is converted into true damage, which will not give healing.- Death's Dance stores damage taken after reductions and the bleed deals true damage.
- Damage done to a shield is fully applied and does not store damage.
- Shields absorb the true damage of the bleed.
- However, magic and physical shields will not absorb the bleed, as only regular shields can absorb true damage.

Patch History[edit]
Base post-mitigation damage storing decreased for ranged champions.
Death's Dance has been overperforming on ranged champions, although we think its utility as a defensive measure should still be within reach. Looking to tone down the effect on ranged champions to open up builds while still leaving the item as a viable option.
We're following up with our top lane changes from 10.5 with an additional set of changes for Death's Dance and Teleport. This combination should continue reinforcing our initial goals of helping top laners that are coming out of laning phase build carry items to be a threat throughout the game. The Teleport change should also shift some of its power as an excellent lane sustain tool to a more late-game splitting-and-flanking tool.

Patch 8.24
Healing now works on all damage.
Many AD fighters have sources of magic damage on their kit, such as Jax. This change makes Death's Dance a more attractive option for them to consider without letting it run wild for pure physical damage champs like Riven who already pick it up.
v6.1
Cost, attack damage, physical healing, damage reduction (and bleed damage taken) all increased.
Death's Dance is a truly unique effect that provides an even more unique fantasy: someone marked for death, doing everything they can to keep going beyond their final moments. As awesome as that sounds, DD's stat efficiency doesn't exactly set it up to support the champions and builds you'd want it to. Sizing it up to better deliver on expectations.
v5.22
Lifesteals from all physical damage, and converts damage taken into a delayed damage-over-time effect.
Lifesteal as a stat for champions that primarily use abilities has always been an interesting space to work in, but often failed because the 'casters' in question lack the inherent durability to really start draining and instead just die on the spot. Death's Dance instead provides 'pseudo-durability' - just enough to give the user time to get their sustain engine going, but forcing that lifesteal to work overtime so as not to succumb to their accumulated debt. Can you outrace your own death, or will you just dance around it?
