Abilities
Every third spell casts twice. Use this to double-cast for a root or for a heal. Casting near allies gives you 'Notes' that increase your auto-attack range and damage—use this to poke safely without stepping too close.
Your primary poke and execute tool. It deals more damage to lower health targets. Save your double-cast for this only if you need to clear a wave or finish a kill; otherwise, or are usually better utility choices.
A massive team-wide shield. If you are already shielded (by an ally or by your first cast), you heal your team after a short delay. This is your most important ability—don't waste it on yourself; wait until you are grouped with 2+ allies.
A line skillshot that slows. If the target is already slowed, it roots. If they are already rooted, it stuns. This is why is perfect for following up on your team's CC or using your double-cast to guarantee a root.
A charm that travels further every time it hits an ally or an enemy. Position yourself behind your tanks so the wave travels through them to reach the enemy backline. It's the ultimate 'follow-up' or 'counter-engage' tool.
Teamfight Role
Enchanter Artillery
Stay in the backline. Your job is to spam and from safety while holding for the enemy's engage. Use to follow up on your tank's engage, not as the primary engage unless you have Flash.
If your ADC is dead and you have high AP, you can play more like a mage, using double-casts to execute low-health targets.
Combos
The Catch
2 Passive Stacks -> -> -> Auto
At two stacks, your will fire twice, instantly rooting the target. Follow up with for damage and a passive-boosted auto for extra range.
Ultimate Team-Shield
2 Passive Stacks -> ->
Use this when your team is low. The double-cast on triggers the heal because the second cast 'sees' the shield from the first. Use while the heal is winding up.
Full Teamfight CC
-> ->
Standard engage. charms them, which counts as a crowd control effect, meaning a single cast will root them immediately while they are charmed.
Flash Charm
-> Flash
You can buffer your and then Flash during the wind-up to change the start position of the wave. This is crucial for catching enemies off-guard who think they are out of range.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 2 | Having access to both and allows you to land your first double-cast root and chunk the enemy health bar. |
| Level 6 | is one of the best teamfight ultimates in the game. It allows you to set up ganks or turn around 2v2 fights in the bot lane instantly. |
| Level 11 | Reduced cooldown on and more points in or increases your mid-game skirmishing power significantly. |
| Level 16 | Maximum rank and fully scaled utility. At this point, a single double-cast can heal your entire team for a massive percentage of their health. |
Tips & Tricks
- •Always watch your passive bar. Don't waste your double-cast on if you know a fight is about to break out and you'll need a double .
- • can extend through your own minions and allies. Position yourself so a teammate is between you and the enemy to 'bounce' the ultimate further.
- •If an enemy has a slow in their kit (like Rylai's), your single-cast will root them. You don't always need the double-cast.
- •Your passive 'Notes' give you extra auto-attack range. Use this to safely poke down towers or get a cheeky hit on a low-HP enemy under their turret.
- • has a massive cooldown (over 20 seconds early). If you use it and miss the heal, play extremely safe until it's back up.
- •You can use to check bushes. If the projectile hits someone, the sound effect changes and you'll see the visual impact.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using purely for the movement speed while alone.→You are left defenseless for 20+ seconds, making you an easy target for the enemy jungler.
- ✕Casting when no one is in front of you.→The range is actually quite short if it doesn't hit a champion. You'll likely miss everyone.
- ✕Always using double-cast on .→You lose out on the root from or the heal from , which are usually higher value in trades.
- ✕Stepping up too far to use passive-boosted autos.→Even with extra range, you are immobile. You will get hooked or jumped on by assassins.
- ✕Holding for the 'perfect' 5-man hit.→You might never use it. Using to peel a single assassin off your ADC is often the better play.
