Impale
Impale is a mechanic that applies the Impaled debuff. Impaled enemies take reflected physical damage whenever they are hit, for a number of hits.
Mechanics
The Impaled debuff records 10% of the physical damage of the hit that applies it. Each time the target is hit after that, by any source, the debuff deals that amount of reflected physical damage. Impale lasts for 5 hits by default, or 8 seconds.[1] Impale stacks freely, limited by the number of hits each debuff can last, as each hit that applies a new impale will also consume hits from existing impales.[2]
Damage dealt by impale is a separate reflected hit that all impale debuffs on a target contribute damage to.[3] As reflected damage, this hit cannot stun or apply on-hit or when-hit effects. While the impale hit is technically dealt by the attacker (for the purpose of e.g. SouthboundSouthbound

It cannot be evaded, dodged, suppressed, or blocked, but it can be affected by mechanics such as damage taken as, avoidance, damage reduction, and modifiers to damage taken, including reflect-specific modifiers. For example, Slayer's
Bane of Legends will prevent taking impale damage.
Impale debuffs can remain on corpses when enemies are killed, and impale can be applied to enemies killed by a single impaling hit.[6]
Damage scaling
Impale damage implicitly scales with the unmitigated physical damage of the hit that inflicts it. The damage can be further increased by modifiers that grant x% increased Impale Effect. Stacking additional or higher damage impale debuffs on a target will result in a greater combined hit, which is advantageous against enemy armour, as each impale is added together when stacks are consumed by a hit.
Because impale damage is recorded before mitigation, and offensive stats do not apply to reflected damage, the attacker's regular Overwhelm #% Physical Damage Reduction and similar effects can never apply to impale's damage. Reducing the target's physical damage reduction against impale will require debuffs such as Poacher's MarkPoacher's MarkPhysical, Spell, Curse, Mark

Damage calculation
Note: For simplification, all calculations below assume 100% impale chance, consistent mitigation by the target, no hits from other skills or entities, and no non-standard mechanics such as The Impaler.
No impale damage is done on the first hit to enemies. The second hit deals 10% reflected damage, the third deals 20%, etc. This damage is capped at the total number of impales you land per hit multiplied by 10. Therefore 5 impales is 50% and 7 is 70%. This damage is then further multiplied by increased impale effect.
Example: Champion with plus 1 max impales, level 20 impale support with 20% quality and 20% impale effect from passives.
- Maximum impale damage begins on the 7th hit. The base is 60% reflected damage.
- All impale effect modifiers include 38% from the gem and 20% from passives = 58%.
- Final damage is (60 x 1.58) = 94% of the damage of the hit in impale damage.
- The slower the attack speed of the character and the less hits per attack, the longer it will take to start doing maximum impale damage per hit.
