Playing Against Camille
TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
Highly mobile dive-fighter and split-pusher. Camille specializes in locking down a single target with and dealing massive true damage with . She relies on walls for her mobility and is one of the best scaling duelists in the game.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Camille's body glows with a blue (physical) or orange (magic) hextech shield | She gains a shield based on the damage type of the champion she just auto-attacked. Avoid dumping your main combo while this shield is active. | |
| Her legs glow and make a 'shing' sound; second cast has a brighter, sharper glow | The second hit ([[Camille:Q2]]) deals massive true damage if she waits 1.5 seconds after the first. Never trade when her legs are glowing brightly. | |
| A large sweeping cone with a highlighted outer edge | The outer half slows, heals her, and deals extra damage. Walk INTO her or move far away to avoid the outer sweet spot. | |
| Grappling hooks attach to a wall, then she lunges off it | Her main gap closer and stun. If she hits you, she gains 40-80% attack speed. Block her path with a CC or dodge the second half of the dash to win the trade. | |
| A golden hexagonal zone that pushes away everyone except the target | The target is trapped and cannot leave even with Flash or Teleport. She deals bonus magic damage inside the zone. It ends if she dies or leaves the area. |
Respect
- ![[Camille:Q2]] True Damage→It ignores all armor and scales with level. If you see her legs glowing bright gold, you must back off immediately or lose 20-40% of your HP.
- !Long-range engages→She can travel nearly two screens away if she uses walls correctly. Never assume you are safe just because she's off-screen if you're near a wall.
- !Trade Deniability→She will look for an auto-attack to trigger her shield before using or . If you burst into the shield, she wins the trade for free.
- !Gank Setup with →Once she hits level 6, her makes you a sitting duck for her jungler. If you are pushed up without vision, you are 100% dead if she ultimates you.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (16-12s)→This is her only escape and hard CC. If she misses it or uses it to farm, all-in her. She cannot get away or fight back effectively without the bonus attack speed.
- +shield is down→The shield has a long internal cooldown (16-10s). Bait the shield with a single auto, back off, and then engage as soon as the shield expires.
- +Between [[Camille:Q1]] and [[Camille:Q2]]→She has a 1.5s delay before she can use the true damage. Use your CC or mobility to prevent her from landing that second hit before the timer expires.
- +Level 1-2→Camille is surprisingly weak before she has all three basic abilities. Champions with strong level 1-2 (like Darius or Jax) can zone her off the wave early.
Laning Tips
- •Walk TOWARD Camille when she casts . The inner part of the cone does significantly less damage and provides her zero healing.
- •Stand away from walls in the middle of the lane. This gives you more time to react to the second half of her dash.
- •If you have a dash or blink, save it specifically to dodge the lunge of . If she misses, she loses her attack speed buff.
- •Early Steelcaps are great, but remember they do NOT reduce the true damage from [[Camille:Q2]]. Buy HP to counter that instead.
- •Watch her mana. Camille is very mana-hungry early. If she is below 100 mana, she likely cannot use her full into combo.
- •Freeze the wave near your tower. Camille hates being pushed in because it limits her ability to use aggressively off the side walls.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠She will always look for a flank. Ward the side bushes and over walls to spot her before she lands on your carries.
- ⚠Do not stand near walls during a siege; she can instantly off your own tower to stun multiple people.
- ⚠Save a displacement CC (like Flay or Headbutt) to knock her out of her mid-air. It cancels her momentum and the stun.
- ⚠If she targets a teammate with , don't run away. Stay and CC her; if she is forced to leave the zone or dies, the cage disappears.
- ⚠Be careful when she has 2-3 items (Ravenous Hydra/Trinity Force). She becomes a 'hit and run' monster that can delete a squishy in one [[Camille:Q2]] rotation.
