Tips & Tricks

  • 1.R (Unstoppable Force) is one of the best teamfight engages — look for 3+ man knockups.
  • 2.Stack armor items — W (Thunderclap) passive scales with bonus armor for extra damage.
  • 3.Q (Seismic Shard) steals move speed — use it to chase or kite melee champions in lane.
  • 4.Passive shield regenerates out of combat — play safe and let it come back between trades.
  • 5.Flash-R extends engage range dramatically — save Flash for crucial teamfight engages.
