Riot has unveiled that they would be reworking Navori Quickblades in the upcoming preseason 2023.
As League of Legends season 12 is almost over, Riot Games has finally announced all the changes coming in the upcoming preseason 2023.
Usually, in the preseason, we get new system changes, quality of life improvements, jungle changes, a new champion, new items, etc. And this preseason is no exception.
Riot has finally shown off the preview of the preseason 2023. In this preseason, we will be getting the return of chemtech drake, massive jungle changes with the addition of jungle pets, communication changes, vision improvements, top lane changes, and, most importantly, new and updated items.
One of the existing items that Riot will be updating is Navori Quickblades.
Navori Quickblade, even though an ADC item, is used mainly by Tryndamere, Yasuo, Yone, etc. Even so, it’s an excellent item. Not only it provides good damage, but it also has a decent crit rate. Alongside the damage, the item also has high ability haste.
The current passive for Navori Quickblade is Deft Strikes. Deft Strike causes basic attacks that critically strike to reduce the user’s basic abilities’ current cooldowns by 20% of their remaining cooldowns.

Navori Quickblades Rework
- 60 Attack Damage
- 20% Crit Strike Chance
- 30 Ability Haste
- Transcendence: If you have at least 60% Critical Strike Chance, your Attacks reduce your non-Ultimate Ability cooldowns by 15% of their remaining cooldown.
- Impermanence: Your abilities deal up to 20%(Crit damage) increased damage based on Critical Strike Chance.
Riot did not change any base stats about Navori Quickblade, as the base stats of the item is already very balanced.
What they did rework is passive. So now Navori Quickblades has two different passive instead of one. They are Transcendence and Impermanence.
The old Deft Strike of the pre-rework Navori is reworked into Transcendence, as both have a type of cooldown reduction. However, Transcencednce is a weaker Deft Strike since Deft Strike provides a 20% cooldown reduction, while Transcendence only reduces cooldown by 15%. Moreover, the player could proc Deft Strike as long as the user was able to land a crit strike, but now the user must have at least a 60% critical rate, making it useless in the early game.
Another new passive for the new Navori Quickblades is Impermanence. It increases the crit damage based on Critical Strike. Even though it is a new passive, it is very similar to Infinity Edge’s passive, Perfection.
The reworked Navori Quickblade, although weaker than the previous one in hindsight, seems strong when paired up with Infinity Edge as both can synergize with crits very well. Not only that, but Navori Quickblade also provides high ability haste, making it an easy item for spamming. Characters such as Sivir and Lucian can gain high advantages by using this new reworked Navori Quickblade.
