How it works

General

  1. You support your Team providing Healing, Shielding and various Buffs.
  2. You rush Moonstone Renewer.
  3. You can peel from your carries with Exhaust.

How to play

General

  1. You need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. Your team needs to engage? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  3. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari
  4. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  5. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  6. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Your all abilities trigger your Surging Tides (Passive). You can use Aqua Prison (Q) to speed your allies up.
  2. Aqua Prison (Q) is not the easiest skill shot to land. Slow enemies with your Tidecaller's Blessing (E) first to make it more likely to hit!
  3. You can use Tidecaller's Blessing (E) mid-flight, and it is still going to trigger. I.e., you (or your ally) start auto attacking without a buff, projectile is in flight, you buff, and it is going to trigger, consuming one stack and dealing damage. Surprise!

Riot

  1. Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.
  2. Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.
  3. Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.
