How to play

General

  1. The idea of the build is centered around getting frequent shields from Fimbulwinter.
  2. Rush #1 Fimbulwinter, then adapt to an enemy team. If they heavy on AD, go Armor. On AP? Buy MR. You need damage? Well, buy that.
  3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Your Realm Warp (R) is a very flexible ability. You can use it for engagement, to catch people off, to run away, to bait enemies, to scare them off. Do not wait for 'special moment' to use it!

Riot

  1. Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.
  2. Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.
  3. Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
