Enemy Champions: Require 3 stacks of An Acquired Taste. Are devoured for up to 3 seconds and take 100 / 250 / 400 plus 15% (+7% per 100 ability power) of their max health as magic damage. Tahm Kench is slowed by 40% and grounded during this effect.
Ally Champions: Are devoured for up to 3 seconds and are granted 650 / 800 / 950 (+100% of ability power) shield which decays by 50 health every 0.25 seconds after Devour has ended until it's gone.
