Hextech is a revolutionary magical technology that combines elemental and spirit magic, allowing anyone to wield magical power through rare hex crystals - not just those with natural arcane abilities.

The technology originated in early 900s AN when Piltover's Mercantile Clans harvested crystals from the Brackern, creatures native to Shurima. These "first crystals" contained immense magical power. The Ferros Clan later developed synthetic hex-crystals, though these were less powerful but easier to manufacture.

Notable Hextech Users:

  • Camille: Has a hextech heart implant that enhances abilities and extends lifespan
  • Jayce: Wields the Mercury Hammer/Cannon that he helped develop
  • Viktor: Created the Perfect Hex Core and Hex Claw
  • Vi: Uses the Atlas Gauntlets
  • Jinx: Operates Fishbones, a hextech-powered rocket launcher
  • Seraphine: Performs using a Hextech Music Platform
  • Caitlyn: Carries a custom hextech rifle

Key Properties:

  • Powers machinery and creates powerful energy beams
  • Requires specially inscribed runes to function
  • Each hextech device is unique and takes years to craft
  • Manufacturing process is a closely guarded secret
  • Mainly developed in Piltover and Zaun

Notable Inventions:

  • Atlas Gauntlets: Strength-enhancing weapons created by Vaido Violante
  • Z-Drive: Time-manipulation device created by Ekko
  • Evolution Turret: Automated defense system with laser capabilities
  • Hextech Golem: Magical-technological constructs like Blitzcrank
  • Mercury Hammer/Cannon: Jayce's transforming weapon
  • Hexgates: Realm-warping transportation system
  • Star Rods: Light-emitting devices used in Piltover's streets
