Farming/Jungling

Farming/Jungling


when you are Farming, you should go into the middle of the enemy minion mob and start using Judgment to hurt all the minions and kill them. when jungling, use Q to charge into the middle while W is activated


Guide Top

Teamfights

Teamfights


You should be focusing on the tankers and carries to help your teammates destroy them faster, and you should be trying to destroy them. try to use Judgment for groups or when you need to hit a lot, and use your ultimate when they're weak enough. charge in with your Q and use E to hurt them while moving around, when it's over use W to lower incoming damage while your attacking them.

Tips and Tricks

Tips and Tricks

  • To level up a skill without clicking the buttons, press (Ctrl)+(Q/W/E/R)
  • If you're low on health but want to keep getting experience, hide in the closest bush as close as possible, as you heal you still get experience.
  • If you have not gotten the last 2 items of the build, stick behind your minions, and attack only if you know you will not die.
  • Each section of the health bar is worth 100, if the last section is not a full one, it's not a full 100, it helps you know when to use your ultimate and to know how much health your opponent has left more specifically.
  • When fighting Baron, make sure you have thorn mail, when fighting dragon, thornmail is unnecessary
