Notes[edit]
- Hextech Gunblade's healing also affects Lightning Bolt, synergizing with itself.
- Although
Hextech Gunblade and 
Blade of the Ruined King both have a 
Bilgewater Cutlass in their recipe, their item actives are considered distinct from one another and will not put each other on cooldown. - Like
Death's Dance, Hextech Gunblade also heals for damage dealt by summoned pets. - The healing passive is often referred to as omnivamp.
Trivia[edit]
- The Gunblade is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy franchise. the Hextech Gunblade most closely resembles the Lion Heart, Squall Leonhart's ultimate weapon in Final Fantasy VIII and Dissidia Final Fantasy, though the Hextech Gunblade has a larger and more greenish blade as opposed to the Lion Heart's blue. In an added FFVIII reference, the
Hextech Revolver, which is needed to fuse the Hextech Gunblade, takes its name from Squall's initial weapon.

Patch History[edit]
Combine cost decreased.
To compensate for Cutlass' price increase, we're decreasing the additional cost to keep Gunblade's total cost unchanged.
v7.2
Active damage reduced at early levels.
As a powerful fringe item, Gunblade finds itself in a similar position to last season’s Frozen Mallet. While few champions are able to capitalize on its specific set of stats, those that can (Akali, Katarina, Corki) have uncovered Gunblade’s overbearing potential. When built as a first item, Gunblade’s active provides damage akin to a 5th spell for most users, easily overpowering the opposition with its instant nuke. We want Gunblade users to feel good about buying into an aggressive option, but the effectiveness of the item was just too much.
v6.9
Deals more damage and slows instantly.
We’ll square with you a Gunblade hasn’t changed much. Its ‘Omni-Vamp’ e sidesteps a lot of spell-vamp’s issues, proving effective on a wide range of mixed-damage champions. Instead of rocking the boat, we tied it to a lightning mechanic (and made the active match) so it plays nice with the other Hextech upgrades. If you’re looking for pure, hybrid offenslook no further.
Similar to Guinsoo's (though quite not as scarce), Gunblade's reload mechanic actually restricted its active's use as a means of catching people out, instead favoring champions who could repeatedly 'reload' it (hint: it's Akali). By stripping out the mechanic and halving the cooldown we're looking to bring Gunblade back as a possible choice for a broader set of champions, namely those looking to heal off of everything. Actually everything.
v5.2 More ability power, slightly less attack damage and lifesteal.
