Furthermore, items that deal damage like Luden’s Echo and Hextech Gunblade will NOT count as stacks, only abilities or attacks will stack and grant you Phase Rush. One key thing to note is that you must stack within four seconds of your three attacks or Phase Rush will not be applied. This allows them to either go in and chase after a target for trading, or for making a quick escape if you get your attacks off quickly enough. This keystone works well with mages that ap casters that do not have great mobility, like Syndra and Orianna. When on a ranged champion however, the movement speed is reduced by 25% to 40% based on level, with a cooldown of around 15 seconds, staying that way throughout the match. Once you hit three stacks, you are granted a burst of movement speed, depending on your level at the time (40%-60% bonus move speed), for three seconds and you also are granted a 75% slow resist. This keystone stacks with each attack you deal to an enemy champion.

The final keystone for the sorcery rune tree is Phase Rush. It also works well for AOE, but it does have some drawbacks, with it being easy to dodge if not cc’d. The keystone works well for champions that can land CC that will make it difficult for them to dodge the comet, like Annie or Viktor or those that can apply constant damage like Xerath. Furthermore, it can also be blocked by spell shields. The cooldown is also based on your level, with the base cooldown going from 20 seconds to 8 seconds. It deals adaptive damage based on the damage you are building and cooldown of this keystone is reduced based on the type of damage, with spell damage by 20%, area damage by 10% per enemy hit and persistent damage by 5%. This keystone hurls an arcane comet at an enemy after damaging them with an ability, after traveling for 0.5 seconds. While on the topic of Arcane Comet, lets take a jump right into this keystone. It also works great for poke with some other champions, as unlike Arcane Comet, which we will get to shortly, will always hit your intended target no matter what. This keystone works great for supports that heal and shield their allies quite often, like Sora or Soraka. The closer you are, the faster she comes back and the faster she comes back, the more often you can use her in fights. She has a very short cooldown, depending on how far you are away from her.

With this keystone, Aery is sent in whenever a target is attacked or when you move to defend an ally, offering them a small bit of shielding from Aery. The first choice is Summon Aery, a keystone that provides both defensive and offensive capabilities, which will be something that most of the abilities in the tree have in common. The Sorcery tree starts with 3 main keystones, so let’s go over those.
