Champion Build Guide
Introduction
Hello, this is my first guide. Thanks for any support you guys give me. This is a guide on my favorite champion
Lee Sin.
Lee Sin is a melee Champion. He attacks in
Flurrys. (Heh heh heh) He is very efficient at jumping in and out of combat. I chose to right this guide on him because he has been my favorite champion for a LONG time. I am UnAwesomeness on the North American Server, and I am in Gold. I don't think I'm a really good
Lee Sin, I just am pretty successful with my playstyle with him, and I thought I would share that with you.
Here is his champion spotlight:

Here is his champion spotlight:
Jungling, What is it?
Jungling is a position that is essential for the game to function as it does. It gives top lane extra experience. It helps lanes that are not doing good. When jungling you need to find the balance of ganking and clearing camps. As the jungler you can't always go to a lane and take their farm. You still have to kill your camps for farm. As a jungler with fast clear times like
Lee Sin, you need to find a good balance. You should be ganking, taking maybe two or three minions, and leaving. When you gank a lane, you almost always want to try to give the lane the kill, it'll put them ahead. Bottom lane, adc wants kills, mid lane wants kills, midlane is almost always a high damage carry. If you think you will do better with kills than your top lane will, take the kill in most situations. Top lane doesn't usually have too high of carry and damage output.

There isn't too much to talk about about this. It gives you health and some armor. Woo-hoo! It makes you tankier, and might just give you the edge against the enemy team's adc. It also gives you a pretty good passive, but an item that is also really great is a ![]() |
![]() |
This is a conditional item that gives health. It basically isn't that good. 800 health is a lot, but you want damage and tankiness, or resistance against the enemy team. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

This item is common on ![]() |
![]() |
This item is amazing for anyone slightly tanky. It lets you apprehend their ADC. It slows attack speed, and gives you armor and health. The active in it isn't half bad either. In an area around you it slows, so you can use it to run away, or chase, or just help win the fight. Buy this against ![]() |
![]() |
Sterak's gage is nice to give you health, damage, and a passive that gives you a shield. It makes you overall more tanky, but also gives you damage so that you are more of an offtank. |

How to use your abilities/combos
When playing
Lee Sin you want to space the abilities. His passive is very good when jungling, as after every ability he attacks twice faster, and gains energy in those abilities. He does an ability, hits them twice with more attack speed, and another ability and twice attack, and so on. This is effective because he is continuously attacking. When clearing a camp you start with
Tempest and attack, then you
Cripple them, making them attack slower. At higher levels you
Sonic Wave/
Resonating Strike in. After that you safeguard, then cast Iron Will.
When you are ganking you will do very much the same thing. You will
Sonic Wave/
Resonating Strike into an enemy. You will then
Tempest/
Cripple. Then
Safeguard/
Iron Will to the other side of the person you are ganking and
Dragon's Rage them toward your allies. If you end up falling behind the person you are ganking and your team-mates are close to them safeguard to your team mates.
If you end up in the jungle while fighting, and you can't or don't want to get to the other side of the enemy champion, you will want to
Sonic Wave,
Dragon's Rage, and then
Resonating Strike so you don't end up too far away from your enemy.
So here are some combos that were mentioned before but not outlined:
One that you can use is
Sonic Wave then use your
Dragon's Rage then
Resonating Strike. This is used to quickly kill someone, or even kick someone out of their team and escape at the same time.
This is a very simple trick. It has to do with two things. Those are having a
Stealth Ward, and having your
Safeguard up. All you do is put down your
Stealth Ward, and then
Safeguard to it. This can make for very good outplays, and plays mentioned hereafter.
This one has a name. It's called an Insec. Insec is an amazing
Lee Sin player, namely for this one play. In a pro game he did this really cool looking, and fight winning play. There are many variations on this, and this one is the hardest. I will also state variations.
1. Throw out your
Sonic Wave at their APC. Assuming it hits, you can use
Resonating Strike and very quickly put down a
Stealth Ward behind them. As soon as you do that,
Safeguard to the ward, then quickly use
Dragon's Rage on them, and it will preferably put them in your team. Your team will then not have to worry about going through the tanks to get the carries.
2. This one uses
Flash instead of
Stealth Wards. Everything is the same in this one up to before putting down the
Stealth Ward. In this one, you will just
Flash instead of ward jumping. Then, as stated before,
Dragon's Rage them into your team.
3. With this one the operations can be reversed. You can either
Flash then put down a ward and
Safeguard to it, then
Dragon's Rage. Or you can ward jump onto then, then
Flash and
Dragon's Rage, and you'll be set.
4. You can use your
Dragon's Rage before you
Flash, but use your
Flash in the middle of the animation of your kick. This is hard to react to, and makes it so you are likely to kick the target in your preferred direction.

Laning
If you are one of those people that lanes
Lee Sin then you can use this same build. Start with
Sonic Wave/
Resonating Strike, max it first, and get
Tempest/
Cripple at level 3 for someone you can't fight, and at 2 for someone you can. I love to start with a long sword and rush a
Vampiric Scepter for the extra lane sustain. While laning you need to wait for your minions to almost kill the enemy minions then last hit them. If your jungler is so nice to give you red, take it. You will want to try to just poke the enemy with
Sonic Wave/
Resonating Strike. You don't need to jump to your enemy, but you can if you are able to jump in and jump out in time for them to hurt you very much. If you really want a great guide for laning please look at Fruity28's guide on Laning with
Lee Sin, because I am don't do too much laning as lee.

Jungling Order
Start at Red camp if you are on blue side, and start at Blue camp if you are on red side. Then go do a rift scuttler, then the other buff, then gank. Then you can do wolves and raptors and back. At this point there are some choices you need to make. If your lanes are pushed, you need to try and go towards there and try to counter gank. Alternatively you can try to gank a different lane, as a sort of trade of one of your lanes for a different one, depending on the hierarchy of power in the game. Whichever lane has more power to carry, which is usually bot lane but could easily be the other lanes, should be the lane that you prioritize ganking.
Counter Jungling
You need to analyze who you are playing against, and whether or not you are stronger early game than them. If your mid lane will make sure you aren't gonna get "Ganked" by mid in the jungle, then you can probably go for it.
Lee Sin is an amazing character with level 2 1v1s, and level 3 1v1s. Most people aren't stronger than you. Some people that you might not want to go up and fight are
Udyr,
Vi, and maybe even
Trundle.

Team Work
When in a team fight it is good to be behind enemy lines. Your team will start fighting, and you will
Dragon's Rage the targeted enemy into your team mates. Before this you could sonic wave your enemy, and then kick and resonating strike to your enemy(This is a better idea, in case they have
Flash). You could also
Dragon's Rage and then safeguard to your team mate, which is good if you are gonna chase effectively with
Sonic Wave/
Resonating Strike. You want to land
Dragon's Rage on multiple enemies, meaning that you kick one enemy into the other enemies. This can create really nice cc on the enemy team, or set up an ult from a teammate.

Warding and ward jumping
I find that warding can be very helpful, and in the jungle you have to be able to know where the enemy jungler is, and if he is trying to steal your buffs. Here are some helpful places to ward:![](/images/spacer.png)
The wards to put by
Baron and
Dragon are for escaping. What you would do is start running away, ward over the
Dragon or
Baron wall, and
Safeguard/
Iron Will to it.
