How it works

General
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Smolder ADC Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.
Smolder ADC specific
  1. Your Super Scorcher Breath (Q) applies both On-hit and Spell Effects.
  2. With Super Scorcher Breath (Q) stacked, you will be applying On-Hit and Spell Effects in AOE!
  3. Your Super Scorcher Breath (Q) range is equal to auto attack range. Meaning items like Rapid Firecannon increases it.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Focus on getting Q stacks early on. Last hit minions (you can even ask your teammates) and use Super Scorcher Breath (Q) and Achooo! (W) on enemy champions to get stacks!
  2. Flap, Flap, Flap (E) is amazing ability in ARAM, it lets you reposition quickly, dodge skillshots or play aggressive. Do not waste it!
Riot
  1. Smolder has a vulnerable early game. Focus on passive stacking and staying alive to become a strong dragon later!
  2. Smolder relies on his team to keep him safe. Try to find allies who can help you against enemy threats.
  3. Smolder can do a lot of damage to areas of enemies. Look for attack opportunities where the enemies are close together.
