Analysis

This rune is expensive if you include killing your own champion, but it's useful for destroying hard-to-destroy champions. It also sees play when running Unstoppable champions (such as Sand Elemental) as they are immune to losing AP from this.

Note that the rune has to damage to work, so if the champion is Resilient, Impervious, has Righteous Deflection, or so on, Forbidden Fruit won't trigger. Check to make sure that you will damage the champion before attacking.

Also note the rune mentions owner; you can't Possess an opposing champion and use Forbidden Fruit to kill another opposing champion because both of your opponent's runes are owned by him. (This also means if the damage is deflected to another champion with the same owner, this will not trigger.)

There are several useful combos using this rune to make the sacrifice of a champion less of a hit:

1) "Fruity Imp" - Use a Deep Elf Summoner to summon an imp. Equip the fruit to the imp, then use Invigorate to give the imp the AP necessary to attack. At the price of the summoner's abilities and the fruit itself, this is considered the most efficient method of using the fruit to score a kill. Additionally, because of the range on the imp, it can get a kill anywhere within 6 spaces of the summoner.

2) "Fruity Skeleton" - This is simply the most efficient method of using an unstoppable champion to get the fruit kill, as the Decayed Mercenary is the least expensive champion with unstoppable. Additionally, the Skeletal Raider drops a Decayed Mercenary upon dying. Because the enemy is likely to have used champions nearby the deceased skeletal raider to kill it, it is common for the mercenary that it spawns to be able to get a hit on an enemy champion. With a forbidden fruit, that is all that you'd need.

3) "Fruit Hatchling" - This is perhaps the most efficient combo that works in Full Faction Sundered Lands battlegroups. Use a Draksar Broodqueen to summon a Hatchling. After it spawns, move the hatchling to melee range of an enemy champion. Then, equip the fruit to the hatchling and use the Broodqueen's Revitalize ability to give the hatchling the necessary AP to attack. Because it takes a turn before the Hatchling hatches, and because it has a far lower threat range, this is typically less effective than the "Fruity Imp" combination.
