Tips & Tricks

  • 1.W (Twisted Advance) is a targeted root that makes you untargetable — use it to dodge key abilities.
  • 2.E (Sapling Toss) in bushes deals bonus damage and slows — zone objectives with brush saplings.
  • 3.Q (Bramble Smash) knocks back and slows — use it to peel enemies off your carry.
  • 4.R (Nature's Grasp) is a massive wall of roots — use it to engage from long range in teamfights.
  • 5.Passive heals you on your next auto after spells are cast nearby — weave autos in fights to sustain.
