This passive is one of the best, as it gives 40% attack speed for the next 2 hits and 15 energy on the next 2 hits. This is what makes Lee Sin a "Combo Champ", what I do when I use this skill is every time I use a skill I always want to auto attack 2 times before I use my next skill. If I can't land the 2nd auto, I'll probably use the next skill after and repeat.

This is one of the priority skills that makes Lee Sin who he is. It makes him what people like to call him, the "flying monkey". It is also a good skill for ganking and for finishing people. It does 8%, yes EIGHT PERCENT of the target's missing health. Another thing that makes this good with Trinity Force is that you can kick, jump to them, and your auto attack will proc a Trinity Force/ Sheen proc. Combined with a slow so they can't get away, you can easily kill targets while still staying alive with your tankiness.

Great shield and life steal/spell vamp. One trick I like to do is if someone has an ignite on me, I do Shift+W to use Safeguard on myself, W again to turn on the life-steal/spell vamp. Then smite as it works with spell vamp. You'll hear more of those "Lucky Lee Sin!!!" cry's from opponents. It is also a very useful skill for ward jumping (See "Ward Jumping" section). Ward jumping has saved my life numerous times as Lee Sin. Oh did I not mention that you can save allies by jumping to them and shielding them with this skill. It works also to block Caitlyn's Ace in the Hole.

Lee Sin's AoE skill, he smashes the ground and does magic damage to his surrounding targets, the range on this skill was nerfed but it's not that bad as it sort of correctly now matches his animation. Good skill for clearing if you went Spirit Stone.

This is an all purpose ultimate that is great for characters who play off-tank like Lee Sin. Personally I make a big fussy deal about lining it up and kicking as many people, but quite frankly if you look at the tooltip, it does 600 DAMAGE at level 3. It is also very good to protect your ad carry or yourself.

Max Tempest first, as it applies a good slow and synergizes with Spirit Stone, since it will provide AoE clears and 20% more increase damage.

After wards, I usually get 3 points into Resonating Strike and stop at rank 3, as I don't feel I need to do damage anymore so I should be getting some ranks into Safeguard and makes my shield effective since it's like at rank 1 40 HP. So I feel like I do stop doings the damages.

Then I max my Safeguard and then put my last 2 points into Resonating Strike.

Madred's Razors Skill Order:

Instead of maxing Tempest, you max Resonating Strike first since you won't be getting that 20% increase on the Tempest AoE on creeps and you'll have more single target damage on the creeps. So might as well maximize that single target damage!

Also instead of getting rank 3 Tempest I max out Safeguard straight away. As I probably feel the shield is more important than an increase slow by 10% per rank.

Trolled!:) Real guide is below this.

That Teemo Thing was pretty cool right? :D

-->wight camp--> --> --> -->GANK TOP!

Enemy lizard--> -->wight camp--> --> -->GANK MID!

Since mid is a short lane, it's a hard lane to gank for and is one of the lanes in which most Counter Gank's occur. To me this lane is a farm lane and should be more cautiously planned.

Also usually one side of the river is warded, so its basically 50/50 if you can pull it off.

The combo usually relies on you to Safeguard to the nearest minion and to land your Sonic Wave.Usually you won't get a Tempest when you Safeguard as most mids are ranged.

Then if you have your ultimate use it as a finisher or to kick the enemy into your ally.

The hardest lane to gank, this lane is probably the trickiest to pull off as everything is warded most of the time. I will be talking about this from blue side perspective.

So what do you do? Well, you can gank them at most by going through river at 4-5 minutes, and they are over extended. Sometimes this could happen, other times they see you and run so you decide to back off. It works only half the time.

You'll also have to ask your bot lane where wards are, if they don't know it's best not to waste your time with it as maybe the other team could bait a counter gank or they just go back.

Another option is going for a lane gank where your support initiates and your about 5 champions back to follow up on a champion. This option is tricky to pull off but when experienced is really successful in a lot of situations or you could just straight up Safeguard to your ally and try to land your Sonic Wave and rely on the crowd control your bot lane has.

The final option is to wait for their Jungler to come in and you wait behind your team and for him to initiate and his team to commit to something they do not want to fight. While you come in to counter gank. Lee Sin is stronger than most Junglers early game and with his Safeguard and burst damage can take down a target faster than most junglers.

Start with Sonic Wave as it's Lee Sin's most valuable damage skill and a gap closer.

Knowing when to dragon is key, remember its every 6 minutes.

Here is a checklist of when to dragon:

Bot Lane went back?
Enemy Jungler is top?
Killed enemy ADC?
Killed Mid?
Vision ward on dragon, and pressure on bot/mid.]?

Here is when not to do dragon.

You don't have smite and enemy jungler is around.
Any time it could be an even fight. 4v4/5v5
Soloing it, unless you are level 7 and have Madred's Razors or Spirit Stone.

If you attempt this you probably want to attempt this when you have some armor and are at least level 11 and its 25+ minutes and your team mates have some DPS. Since Lee Sin is maxing Safeguard 2nd, he can definitely tank this really good as he gains life steal and spell vamp. So the shield and vamp really help while trying to take it down and leaves Lee Sin taking not a lot of damage in the end.

Also Lee Sin can finish it good with a Sonic Wave+ Resonating Strike+ Smite combo if he wants to fight a smite war with the enemy jungler, should combine Resonating Strike + Smite usually when Baron is around 1000-1200 health and your smite is around 700-900.

Lee Sin is a great duelist and can 1v1 almost any other jungler early, so if you feeling ballsy and strong go for it! Also to add Lee Sin with Sightstone can get out of any sticky situation if needed.

Other times I take their blue/red if I see the enemy Jungler far away from his blue/red buff at 7:05 (Which ever he started at.)

I know some Lee Sin's on purple side will start red and go straight to the enemy's blue and try to take him down by going the E-Q skill order. Most of the time it's really effective especially if your team can back you up on this move.

Or vice versa on blue side where Lee Sin starts blue and invades the enemy at his red and takes him down from there.

Find your enemy jungler, then set up in a place where he will come and you can come kill the enemy jungler or whoever is squishier with your allied laner, make sure to pick a target that you can burst and your ally knows it, or else the disperse damage could cause you to die.

Lee Sin makes a great counter ganker as his Safeguard provides a shield and the enemy could commit to something they don't want to and on top of that his burst damage is pretty decent.

Sonic Wave the target, and say your Smite does 1000 damage, your Resonating Strike damage to minions is 170 damage + 400 (from 8% missing health, its capped at 400 damage) so that's a 1570 smite if you can combo it all together.

The tank, is the one who soaks in all the damage and still survives it all.

The peeler, is the one who crowd controls and attacks anyone on his carries and stays with them.

The assassin, is the one who can finish off people fast and cheesy.

Resonating Strike is used to initiate team fights, and to finish off enemies so if you catch someone low with Sonic Wave.This skill is the one to finish them.

Safeguard is used to disengage from the enemy to your allies or to even further close the gap between you and the enemy with Sightstone or to initiate and sight ward behind the enemy and use Dragon's Rage and kick him to your team mates.

Iron Will used to activate his passive, Flurry.

Tempest is used to AoE the enemy team, and to damage anyone trying to get on your carry.

Cripple is used to slow anyone trying to get away or anyone on your carry, this also reduces attack speed so it's a good peeling tool.

Dragon's Rage is used to kick people away from your team Kennen, is used to initiate by kicking people in your team and is used as a finisher to kill people.

You can be with your assassin and trying to kill there carry if your going to initiate.

You can be the one guarding your ADC and keeping him alive, killing anyone who dares to go through you as you will slow them and kick them away if forced to.

Once your HP is low, stick around by giving people shields with Safeguard and picking off low HP targets with Sonic Wave + Resonating Strike.
