Tips & Tricks
- •Use just before a CC ability hits you; the 'Unstoppable' status will prevent the CC from moving or stunning you.
- •Forging a Ruby Crystal or Cloth Armor with while in lane increases your MAX health/resists, effectively giving you a small heal/shield for the new stat amount.
- • destroys player-made terrain; use this to instantly escape Jarvan IV's Cataclysm or Yorick's W.
- •The pillar from takes 1.5 seconds to erupt. If you too early, you will dash right through it without a knockup.
- •You can use Flash mid-dash during to change your trajectory and hit a wall you wouldn't have reached otherwise.
- • recast is a physical hit; you can be CC'd out of it, so time your recast when you aren't about to be silenced or stunned.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using onto a pillar that hasn't finished growing.→You fail the knockup, lose your escape, and usually get traded down for free.
- ✕Forgetting to auto-attack after applying Brittle with or .→You lose the majority of your damage and the CC duration increase that the Brittle proc provides.
- ✕Forging items while standing in a warded bush or in vision.→The enemy sees the forging sparks, knows exactly where you are, and can cancel your channel with any damage.
- ✕Panic-recasting the moment it appears.→The ram is too far away to hit, and the ultimate is wasted, leaving your team without engage.
- ✕Wasting for waveclear when the enemy has a dangerous CC ability up.→You lose your only way to ignore their CC and become an easy target for a gank or all-in.
