Introduction

Hi everyone,

This is my first guide, so fell free to leave some suggestions. :)

So, many of you think that should be played as a squishy AP nuker (which is also a great way). Today, I will show you a new kind of : double off-tank AP . Yes, it will be a triple with and . I'm not trolling. >:\

Runes

So here are the runes that I recommend:
3
9
9 Greater Seal of Replenishment
9

- is for the death timer reduce. Even you have and , you need those when they are on cooldown. With , you have 25% less time to spend death.

- is for the little bonus damage. You don't want them to live with 5 HP, don't you?

- Greater Seal of Replenishment is for the mana regen that you really need in early game. Missing a will be less painful.

- is for the cooldown reduction that you really need for . With the masteries, you will have 18,1% at level 18 without items. This mean 22 seconds less to wait for your Lvl 3 .

Masteries

For the masteries, I like to take 9/0/21. Even you are a off-tank, the standard caster masteries are quite effective. For 9/0/21, make sure to take:
- and for more damage and less cooldown
- for less time spent dead
- for less cooldown
- for less cooldown on and

The rest is for your unique playing style.

9/21/0 is also a great choice, but for an off-tank the masteries above are better. If you choose this, you will be tankier but with less cooldown reduction and mana regenaration. For this setup make sure to take:
- for a speed boost with
- and for more health
- for more CDR (CoolDown Reduction)
- of course

Revive and Teleport (Summoner Spells)

Yes, this is the guide that features and for . If you want others summoner spells, what can I say? At least, try these first! :)

This spell instantly revives your Champion on your spawning pool with a scaling Health bonus for 2 minutes. If you took , you will also gain a speed boost but not for 2 minutes. (540 sec or 459 sec with )

Only use this when the death timer is too long (more than 20 sec) AND\OR your team needs you quick. Otherwise the cooldown of is not worth.

This is also know as the Trolling Spell, but most of people that calls this trolling don't know how to use it well.

Fun fact: This can make people queue dodge. If you clicked play accidently or you don't want to play with this team, pick . (50% success rate) BUT, you can be in queue for a long time. My record is 5 dodges.

Skill Sequence

R > Q > E > W is the skill priority.

At level 2, you need to level up the right skill that solves the problem you have.
- is needed if your enemy is too fast OR if you can finish them quick. (very rare)Suited for aggresive play and duo laning.
- is needed when you have mana problems AND/OR you want to go in and kill them with your passive, but this will give them first-blood and yourself a kill or two. (not recommended)Suited for passive play and solo laning.

At level 4, you can level up the skill that you didn't take. (W or E)

After that follow the normal skill sequence and it's done. That was Easy! :P
