Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Q (Tongue Lash) applies a stack of An Acquired Taste — land three stacks to stun with auto attacks.
  • 2.W (Abyssal Dive) is a powerful engage tool; use it to dive onto backline carries in teamfights.
  • 3.E (Thick Skin) stores damage as grey health — activate it as a shield before the grey health decays.
  • 4.R (Devour) can save an endangered ally or consume an enemy champion after applying three passive stacks.
  • 5.Tahm Kench wins most extended 1v1 trades in top lane; look for long fights rather than short bursts.
