Blocking true damage
Summoner abilities or spells that deal true damage are blocked by damage-preventing effects such as the player's passive. 
Veil of the Banshee, 
Spell Shield of 
Sivir, 
Mantle of Darkness 
Nocturne, and Standard Attacks that deal real damage additional are able to be blocked by Protective Aegis Protective Aegis 
Pantheon. Intervention Intervention of 
Kayle blocks all damage against a target champion, incluyendo the real damage. Before the removal of the Dodge stat, both abilities with true damage and on-hit effects and true damage on standard attacks could be completely avoided if dodged, however during the effect of 
Counterattack, 
Jax can still effectively dodge true damage from hit effects and true damage from standard attacks.
Although the true damage cannot be mitigated directly, it is possible to decrease its relative effect by accumulating life or using shields.
- Acquiring life causes fixed true damage sources (ex.
devour of 
Cho'Gath) effectively inflict a lower percentage of total health. This only partially applies against 
Silver Shells of 
Vayne, as she scales for the target's maximum life.
- Reduce the attack speed of Vayne (using objects like
Ice Heart or 
Randuin's Omen) mitigates damage from Silver Projectiles by reducing the number of times it is applied. The bonus health / stamina also decreases the effects of physical damage, which typically comprise the vast majority of total damage from Vayne. - For each application of Silver Projectiles, bonus health is actually equal to (1 -% true damage) * (bonus health). For Silver projectiles at grade 5, this means that the bonus health over 12 basic attacks is still 87% effective — quite efficient. For all the reasons mentioned, life constitutes an essential aspect to efficiently counteract the production of damage from Vayne, contrary to popular belief.
- Reduce the attack speed of
- Absorption shields such as the
Eye of the Storm 
Janna absorb true damage and do not count towards maximum health, thus protecting equally well against all sources of true damage. - Anti magic shields such as the
Black Shield of 
Morgana and the passive of 
Sorbechizos and 
Maw of Malmortius will have no impact about real damage.

Notes
- Despite beliefs, champions whose abilities have a cost of life associated with No. they deal real damage to themselves when they use them.
- This can be evidenced when they have an absorption shield on them, when they use their ability based on their life, the cost of it penetrates the shield and directly drains the user's life, as opposed to the true damage that must break any absorption shield on the target to reach life points.
- The Nexus Obelisk turrets (spawn point) in the heart of any team's base deal 1000 points of true damage that cannot be mitigated by any means, even by abilities that make the champion invulnerable.
- Prior to patch V1.0.0.108, shields and invulnerability worked against these turrets, effectively allowing some champions to "safely" get into the enemy team's resurrection platform.
- True damage is not amplified by Mastery [[File: {{{Executioner}}} mastery s4.png | 20px | alt = | Executioner | link = Executioner (Mastery Season 4)]] Executioner.
- As of patch V3.15, true damage is no longer amplified with abilities such as Diplomatic Immunity Diplomatic Immunity of
