What They Do
Milio is a protective enchanter who specializes in extending his teammates' reach and neutralizing engage. He provides bonus attack range with , shields with , and has a massive AoE cleanse on to keep his team safe.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Allies glow with orange fire sparks | Their next attack or ability deals bonus burst damage and a burn. Avoid trading when the enemy ADC is glowing from . | |
| Kicking a fire ball that bounces | A knockback that turns into an AoE slow. If you're a diver, wait for him to waste or he will interrupt your dash mid-air. | |
| A small campfire following an ally | Provides healing and bonus attack range. Respect the zone; they can hit you from further away while standing in . | |
| A bubble-like shield (2 charges) | Provides a shield and movement speed boost. He can cast twice, so don't assume he's defenseless after just one shield. | |
| A massive orange shockwave pulse | Instantly heals and cleanses ALL crowd control for his team. Your CC ultimates are useless if is available. |
Respect
- !Range extension from →It allows his ADC to poke you from outside your effective range, making it impossible to trade back effectively.
- !The knockback→It is a reliable tool to stop engage. If he holds it, champions like Leona or Alistar can never get a clean combo off.
- !AoE Cleanse on →He can nullify entire teamfight-winning ultimates (like Amumu or Seraphine R) instantly for his whole team.
- !Passive damage from →He doesn't need to build damage to hurt. By just shielding his ADC, he grants them a significant damage boost that wins short trades.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (12s early)→This is his only hard self-peel. When is down, he and his ADC are extremely vulnerable to all-ins.
- +is on cooldown (29-21s)→The campfire has a massive cooldown. If they waste it, you have a long window where they lack sustain and range.
- +Both charges of are used→He has no more movement speed or shields. Target the person who doesn't have the shield remaining for an easy kill.
- +Early game squishiness→Milio has very low base HP. If you can catch him out of position, he usually dies faster than the ADC he is protecting.
Laning Tips
- •Stay away from your own low-HP minions; Milio will use on the wave to make the ball bounce onto you for a long-range slow.
- •Bait out then immediately disengage. It stays on cooldown for nearly 30 seconds at early levels.
- •In a 2v2 all-in, focus Milio first. He is squishier than most ADCs and can't use his or as effectively on himself.
- •Don't take short, bursty trades when his ADC has the glow, as the burn damage will almost always make them win the exchange.
- •His projectile speed is actually quite slow at range. Side-step the ball's bounce rather than running directly away from it.
- •Buy early Grievous Wounds. Between , , and his likely use of Summoner Heal, they have an absurd amount of recovery.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Never lead with your biggest CC ability while is up; he will just cleanse it and you will lose the fight.
- ⚠Milio will sit very far back. Use flank routes to get to him, as he is much harder to kill if you try to run through his frontline.
- ⚠Watch for the campfire movement. It follows the nearest ally to the cast point, indicating where the enemy team is likely to rotate.
- ⚠In clumped fights, every one of his abilities procs for his allies. The total team damage increase is massive in 5v5s.
- ⚠Assassins must wait for him to burn . If you jump in while he has it, he will knock you back and the ADC will kill you while you're slowed.
