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.

Champion

  1. You will be supporting your allies with your E (Shield, Armor/MR), Movement Speed Buff and Debuff, various Items and CC from your R.
  2. You can even heal your allies thanks to Font of Life and Moonstone Renewer combo. Heals from Font of Life being triggered from your W, R (or even all abilities, if you buy Rylai's Crystal Scepter - it works very good on Orianna!)
  3. Knight's Vow works exceptionally well. Stay close to your partner.
  4. Keep track of your ball. Sometimes it makes sense to keep it most of the time on the tank or whoever is engaging.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can use Command: Attack (Q) for brush control.
  2. Remember your ball has travel time. The further it gets, the longer it travels to you. You can always walk out of tether distance to make it automatically appear on you.
  3. Cool combo: you can use Command: Shockwave (R) then Flash into enemies for instant CC!

Riot

  1. Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.
  2. Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.
  3. Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.
