Quicksilver Sash's active, called Quicksilver, swiftly removes all crowd control debuffs on your champion.

Quicksilver Sash
Last Whisper
Dagger
Hexdrinker
Mercurial Scimitar upgrades from Quicksilver Sash along with a B.F. Sword and Cloak of Agility. Hexdrinker, Dagger, and Last Whisper are unrelated to its build path. The key component for the CC-cleansing active is Quicksilver Sash. For build details, see .
Which support item can be used on an ally to remove crowd control debuffs?
Ardent Censer
Redemption
Locket of the Iron Solari
Mikael's Crucible
Mikael's Crucible has an active called Purify that removes all crowd control debuffs from a targeted ally. Locket, Redemption, and Ardent Censer provide shields, heals, or buffs but do not cleanse CC. This makes Mikael's Crucible the go-to support item for CC removal. Learn more at .
What primary defensive stat does Quicksilver Sash provide?
Health
Attack Damage
Magic Resist
Armor
Quicksilver Sash grants 30 Magic Resist to help mitigate enemy magic damage and synergize with its CC-cleansing active. It does not provide armor, health, or attack damage. Magic Resist is essential for surviving heavy AP team compositions before using its active. See full stats at .
What is the base cooldown of Mikael's Crucible's active before any cooldown reduction?
45 seconds
30 seconds
60 seconds
90 seconds
Mikael's Crucible's active Purify has a base cooldown of 45 seconds, allowing supports to cleanse CC from allies relatively frequently. With cooldown reduction, this can be brought down further. The other cooldown values listed are not correct for this item. More info can be found at .
Which of the following items is classified as a Mythic item capable of removing CC?
Mercurial Scimitar
Quicksilver Sash
Mikael's Crucible
Locket of the Iron Solari
Mercurial Scimitar is the Mythic upgrade of Quicksilver Sash and retains the active that removes CC.

Only Mercurial Scimitar holds the Mythic classification among these. See details at .
Mercurial Scimitar can be used to counter which champion's ultimate suppression?
Leona
Ashe
Malzahar
Blitzcrank
Malzahar's ultimate, Nether Grasp, suppresses the target, and Mercurial Scimitar's active can cleanse that suppression. Ashe's ultimate is a stun but isn't a suppression, Blitzcrank's pull is displacement, and Leona's Solar Flare is a stun/slow. Only Malzahar's ultimate qualifies as a suppression that QSS and its upgrade can remove. Read more at .
Besides removing CC, what bonus effect does Mercurial Scimitar grant upon activation?
Lifesteal
Bonus Attack Speed
Bonus Movement Speed
Magic Penetration
Upon activation, Mercurial Scimitar not only removes all crowd control debuffs but also grants a substantial bonus to movement speed for a short duration. It does not grant attack speed, lifesteal, or magic penetration on cleanse. This movement speed boost helps you reposition after cleansing. More details at .
How much magic resist does Quicksilver Sash grant?
30 Magic Resist
20 Magic Resist
40 Magic Resist
15 Magic Resist
Quicksilver Sash provides 30 Magic Resist, bolstering your defenses against AP threats before using its active. Other values are incorrect for this item. The magic resist stat is a core reason players pick up this item in AP-heavy matchups. For full stats, visit .
What Mythic passive bonus does Mercurial Scimitar provide?
Ability Power per Legendary item
Movement Speed per Legendary item
Ability Haste per Legendary item
Attack Damage per Legendary item
As a Mythic item, Mercurial Scimitar grants additional Ability Haste for each Legendary item you have. It does not provide bonuses to attack damage, movement speed, or ability power through its Mythic passive. This helps reduce cooldowns across your build. More on Mythic passives at .
In a heavy poke composition, which item might you choose over Mikael's Crucible?
Locket of the Iron Solari
Ardent Censer
Shurelya's Battlesong
Redemption
Redemption offers a global heal and area-of-effect damage mitigation, which is particularly effective against poke comps. Mikael's Crucible is more niche for CC removal, while Ardent Censer and Shurelya's focus on buffing allies, and Locket provides a shield. Redemption's heal makes it superior for countering poke. Learn more at .
Which of these items has an active but does NOT remove crowd control?
Mikael's Crucible
Zhonya's Hourglass
Quicksilver Sash
Mercurial Scimitar
Zhonya's Hourglass activates stasis, making you untargetable but does not cleanse existing crowd control debuffs. Mikael's Crucible, Quicksilver Sash, and Mercurial Scimitar all have CC-cleansing actives. Zhonya's only prevents damage and CC while in stasis, but does not remove it. See details at .
When upgrading Quicksilver Sash into Mercurial Scimitar, which additional component must be purchased?
B.F. Sword
Dagger
Serrated Dirk
Long Sword
Mercurial Scimitar's build path includes Quicksilver Sash, Cloak of Agility, and B.F. Sword. The B.F. Sword is the major damage component added on upgrade. Daggers and Long Swords are used in other AD items, while Serrated Dirk is for lethality builds. For specifics, see .
Which champion's binding can be cleansed by Mikael's Crucible?
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab
Nautilus's Dredge Line
Thresh's Death Sentence
Morgana's Dark Binding
Morgana's Dark Binding root is a crowd control debuff that can be cleansed by Mikael's Crucible. Thresh, Nautilus, and Blitzcrank hooks are displacement effects, not debuffs, and thus cannot be removed by the Purify active. This distinction makes Morgana's binding the correct answer. More at .
What is the percentage movement speed bonus granted by Mercurial Scimitar's active?
35%
45%
25%
55%
When activated, Mercurial Scimitar grants 45% bonus movement speed that decays over 2 seconds. This helps reposition after cleansing CC. The other values listed are incorrect for the current active effect. For movement speed details, check .
Which champion's Devour ability cannot be removed by Quicksilver Sash?
Warwick
Mordekaiser
Tahm Kench
Amumu
Tahm Kench's Devour is not a debuff but a displacement effect; it cannot be cleansed by Quicksilver Sash. Amumu's ultimate and Warwick's suppression are debuffs that can be cleansed. Mordekaiser's ultimate is a unique displacement mechanic and also cannot be cleansed by QSS, but the specific ability in question refers to Tahm Kench's Devour. More at .
Which mythic passive bonus is NOT provided by Mercurial Scimitar?
Ability Haste per Legendary item
Attack Damage per Legendary item
Ability Power per Legendary item
Movement Speed per Legendary item

Cheat Sheet

  1. CC Categories and Removal Mechanics -

    Riot's official gameplay articles distinguish hard CC (e.g. stuns, roots) from soft CC (slows, blinds). Active removal items completely purge all hard CC effects, while Tenacity-only items and effects merely shorten durations by a percentage. Think "hard vs soft" and "purge vs reduce" to solidify this concept (Riot Games Developer Guide).

  2. Active CC Removal Items -

    League's primary CC breaker actives include Quicksilver Sash (QSS), its upgrade Mercurial Scimitar, and Mikael's Crucible (supports-only). QSS and Scimitar cleanse every applied debuff instantly (3500 g total cost), and Mikael's Crucible also heals 70 HP and grants 40% Movement Speed. Check the Riot Games item database for exact stats and upgrade paths.

  3. Tenacity Versus Active Removal -

    Tenacity reduces the duration of CC by a flat percentage (e.g. 40% tenacity turns a 2 s stun into 1.2 s), whereas active cleansers remove CC entirely. Formula: Effective Duration = Base Duration × (1 - Tenacity %). Mercury's Treads provide +45 MR and 30% Tenacity, ideal for consistent CC reduction but unable to free from current effects (Official League Wiki).

  4. Mnemonic for Item Recall -

    Use the phrase "Quick Mercy Makes Clears" to remember Quicksilver Sash, Mercurial Scimitar, Mikael's Crucible - and Cleansing Potion for summoner synergy. First letters Q, M, M, C make it easier to list every CC breaker under pressure. Pair it with flashcard drills using the Riot item database screenshots for maximum retention.

  5. Situational Purchase and Cooldown Management -

    Deciding when to buy a CC removal item depends on enemy composition strength and your build path; calculate cooldowns using CDR formulas (Cooldown = Base CD × (1 - CDR %)). For example, Mercurial Scimitar's 90 s base CD becomes 63 s at 30% CDR. Plug numbers into online CDR calculators (sourced from Riot's API documentation) to plan midgame spikes effectively.
