How to play

General

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. You will be more tanky later on, so play more carefully in the early game.
  3. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  4. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  5. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  6. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Champion

  1. Your play pattern is going to be Siphon Power (Q), auto attack and kite in between. Your Q works nicely with Shield Bash (damage buff), Grasp of the Undying and other items.
  2. Evolve order: Q > W > E
    • Evolve Siphon Power (Q) first. Gravity Field (W) second. Hextech Ray (E) third.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can scout bushes with your Hextech Ray (E).
  2. You can stop an enemy team from pushing your turrets with your Gravity Field (W). Everyone died, and the enemy tries to push? Just put W on minions' path.
  3. You can interrupt many powerful enemy cooldowns and ults with yours! Time Arcane Storm (R) well to stop enemy casts.
  4. You can peel from your allies by placing Gravity Field (W) beneath them.
  5. If your team CC, you can try chaining your Gravity Field (W) with them for maximized effect.
  6. Chasing someone? Use evolved Siphon Power (Q) for movement speed buff!

Riot

  1. Hextech Ray is a powerful poke and a strong area of denial tool. Use it in combination with Gravity Field to control your enemy's position.
