When annie has the maximum of her stacks stay away from her and pay attention to her passive that is able to stun you and subsequently apply a combo to inflict serious damage on you, being an assassin could kill you, in this case I recommend a hard cc or hard ap build (malmortius and wit's end) with dance of death. Waits for her to waste her stacks to engage her.

Introduction

Welcome to my guide, I'm PykEugeo, I am going to show all my experience with in this guide both to those who have mastered it well enough, and to those who would like to learn it.

After a long time playing the other champions, one day I realized that had the kit and the style of play that I prefer.
Of course it's not always plain sailing to play with him ( hard skilling ), but I'll show you the reasons to pick and why it's good to play with.

Below I show you my mastery points and my rank, I finished season 12 with the rank of silver 4, but I wasn't stuck at that rank, I just preferred to play more draft with friends often than ranked. In the draft I often encountered tremendous botlanes against samira and nautilus gold 2, winning above all so I guess my rank last season was between gold 1 and platinum 4, but for this season I will try to get platinum 4. I will update you on my rank over the months.

Update:
i was bronze 2 26/08/2022 in S12
i was silver 4 13/09/2022 in S12
i'm scaling 19/01/2023 in S13

Only Pyke Ranked/Draft

Pyke Ranked & others champs

Pros and Cons

PROS

➕ A excelent Roaming
➕ More gold to himself and others with the ultimate
➕ After roaming, you can easily gank own lane
➕ can executes the enemy with ult
➕ can go through walls thanks to
➕ Higher mobility on LOL ( later )
➕ You are assassin, if you snowball, game is won at 70%
➕ Your is a good utility for your adc and to get a kill early game.

If you want to play cunning and aggressive, is the champion for you, in fact thanks to his kit you will not only be able to get the better of certain champions, but you will be able to surprise even the enemies left by solo late game thanks to its powerful roaming sometimes serving as a second jungler. Not only is 's roaming extremely effective, but also the gold he is able to multiply every time he kills or gets an assist from his ultimate, in this way, you will be able to build your adc much faster than that enemy and have a huge advantage.

CONS

❌ is squishy cause his passive
❌ So much Tanks, and/or sustain and/or high dps enemies in botlane is worst matchup for
❌ A bad roaming stop your snowballing
❌ Vulnerable to the poke enemy
❌ Without your R, is useless in late game
❌ No snowballing or No Team, u cant do anything

Like any champion, also has some weaknesses, the first of which is not only being an assassin and therefore one shot by mages and other assassins, but due to his passive, any item you would build but that gives hp, he won't give them to you because it will convert them to attack damage. Having a team that knows how to keep up with is important because if you don't snowball enough and if this happens due to large enemy sustain or too much dps, it will make your game a hell that you will want to get out of immediately by giving up. Unfortunately the hard cc is also a problem for pyke as for any other champs.

Abilities

PASSIVE ABILITY

Gift of the Drowned Ones

✦ 's maximum health cannot increase except through growth (per level), instead he gains 1 bonus attack damage per 14 bonus health.

✦ gains 1 bonus movement speed while in the river.

✦ stores 9% (+ 0.2% per 1 Lethality) of the post-mitigation damage he takes from enemy champions as grey health on his health bar, increased to 40% (+ 0.4% per 1 Lethality) while there are two or more visible enemy champions nearby. He can store up to 80 (+ 800% bonus AD) grey health, with an upper cap of 55% of his maximum health.

When is not visible to enemies, he rapidly consumes his grey health to power heal for the same amount.

Bone Skewer

♠ Target range: 400 − 1100 (Based on channel time)
♠ Effect radius: 550
♠ Width: 140 / 200
♠ Cast time: 0.25 sec.

✦ RECAST: hurls his harpoon in the target direction that deals physical damage to the first enemy hit, (knock up) pulling them towards his direction, during which they are also revealed, and slowing them by 90% for 1 second.

Releasing the ability within 0.4 seconds causes to instead thrust his blade in the target direction, dealing the same damage to the closest enemy champion, or closest enemy otherwise.

If the charge is silenced, interrupted or completes without reactivation, is cancelled and the ability is put on cooldown full cooldown but refunds 75% of the mana cost. 's mana cost is refunded if it hits an enemy champion.

Ghostwater Dive

♠ Cost: 50 Mana
♠ Cooldown: 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10 sec.
♠ Detection radius: 600

✦ ACTIVE: submerges into water, entering camouflage for 5 seconds and gaining 40% (+ 1.5% per 1 Lethality) bonus movement speed that decays over the duration. Enemy champions within 1500 units of are alerted of his presence and whether he can execute them with .

Attacking or casting abilities ends immediately.

Phantom Undertow

✦ ACTIVE: dashes a fixed distance in the target direction, leaving behind a Phantom.
✦ After a 1-second delay, the Phantom homes back to to stun enemies around it and those it passes through along the way for 1.25 (+ 0.1 per 10 Lethality) seconds. Enemy champions hit also take physical damage.

Death from Below

♠ Target range: 750
♠ Effect radius: 125 / 282.5 × 100
♠ Cast time: 0.5 sec.
♠ Cost: 100 Mana
♠ Cooldown: 100 / 85 / 70 sec.

✦ ACTIVE: marks the target location with an X before striking it, executing enemy champions within the area that are below 250 − 550 (based on level) (+ 80% bonus AD) (+ 1.5 per 1 Lethality) health. Other enemies hit and enemy champions above the threshold are instead dealt ( 50% of the amount as physical damage ).
✦ If hits an enemy champion or at least one is killed inside the X by an ally, will blink to the center of the X. For the latter case also gains the ability to recast within
20 seconds at no cost.
✦ Each successful execution grants one to the last assisting ally, instead of its natural assist gold. In addition, each enemy champion killed inside the X by an ally during 's cast time grants one .

Skill Curiosity

PASSIVE ABILITY

Gift of the Drowned Ones

✦ Game elements that increase health based on the champion's health (e.g ) will increase the health before getting converted by , thus granting increased bonus AD.

✦ and Grievous Wounds, a debuff that reduces all of a unit's healing and health regeneration received by 40%, take effect after 's healing cap.

✦ 's grey health does not have a time limit, and will stay on his health bar until leaves enemy vision or dies.

✦ Since 's maximum health cannot be increased, reaches the upper cap of 60% of maximum health at 40.25 − 172.85 (based on level) bonus attack damage.

✦ Untargetable champions count towards 's modified grey health storing.

✦ The maximum amount of additional grey health storing gained possible from all lethality sources is 51.2% at 128 lethality. This is reduced to 25.6% while there are fewer than two enemy champions nearby.

✦ is 93.75% gold efficient.

✦ 1 HP = 2.66 gold. (calculated with . 400g / 150 hp = 2.66)

✦ 1 AD = 35 gold. (calculate with . 350 g / 10 ad = 35 g)

✦ AD/HP (35 / 2.66) = 13.125 (this is to find where AD=HP, meaning 13.125 HP is equal to 1 AD. The equation would be 13.75 [HP] = [AD])

✦ 's passive converts every 14 bonus hp into 1 ad. so if you divide 13.125 by 14, you get 0.9375, meaning each bonus HP you buy is only 93.75% the gold value you get for each AD.

✦ 100% efficiency would be 8 AD for every 105 HP.

Mathematical calculations on the passive

Bone Skewer

✦ Only the charged version of will be intercepted.

✦ This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

✦ can still use summoner spells besides , , , and while hurling the harpoon but he cannot perform any other action.

Ghostwater Dive

✦ When an enemy is alerted, sharks will circle underneath their feet while a sound will be played to them that changes based on health threshold.

✦ The maximum amount of bonus movement speed gained possible from all lethality sources is 192% at 128 lethality.

Mathematical calculations on the W

Phantom Undertow

✦ The dash distance can be extended to up to 900 units (estimated) when targeting across terrain.

✦ Like most projectiles, the flying Phantom cannot hit targets whose center is behind the position it originates at or beyond the position it catches up to at, but the spell can hit targets behind its origin as long as their hitbox radius overlaps with the original unit Phantom's 110-radius check at the end of its lifespan.

✦ The maximum increase in stun duration possible from all lethality sources is 1.28 seconds at 128 lethality, with the base duration included for a total of 2.53 seconds.

Mathematical calculations on the E

Death from Below

✦ Applies raw damage to executed targets and area damage to targets above the threshold.

✦ Raw damage is a type of damage that ignores all resistances and shields active on target. Invulnerability, (e.g. ) is only way to reduce raw damage, but will also negate its application where applicable. All current champion-sources of raw damage deal in excess of 100% of the target's current health, and so this damage type is often referred to as execution damage.
By default, raw damage will also ignore minimum health threshold and resurrection effects. However, all current interactions between champion-sourced raw damage have been handled to not-kill protected champions. It is worth noting that for and , the special-cased behavior to prevent affected champions from being executed will leave them on 1 health rather than the amounts specified by the ability.

✦ The following effects trigger a champion to enter in spell shield against Q and ( only for

Death from Below(R)

ACTIVE: Pyke strikes in an X-shaped area, executing enemies below 190 − 655 (based on level) (+ 60% bonus AD) health while dealing the same amount as physical damage to enemies not within the threshold for execution.
If Death from Below hits an enemy champion, Pyke will blink to the center of the X. If an enemy champion dies in the X, the assisting ally is granted Your Cut, and Pyke gains the ability to recast within 20 seconds at no cost.
MANACOST: 100.
COOLDOWN: 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.

Tips on skin of Pyke's X

Playing League of legends, I realized the difference in pixels between one and another in terms of skin. In fact, each skin should be used based on both who you are playing against and who you are playing with: In fact it will be easier to get a pentakill using a certain X, since based on the skin the X changes, or kill more people in the same X, thanks to the synergies with certain champions, such as , , , and so on, see the synergies section for more information.
From this fact the desire to write this section was born, in order to help you choose the best skin for in the right games.

Vote for X

x 6/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 5.5 / 10 for more kills in the X

Tips

✦ This is Pyke's Death from Below without skin. This X is poor both from the point of view of wanting to get a pentakill, and to want to kill as many people as possible in the same X. I advise you to always use a skin if you have one, avoid it as much as possible, but if you can't do without it because you don't have a skin then it's fine.

Vote for X

x 10/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 7/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ I advise you to use this skin in ranked e or in a game in which you want to try hard, because thanks to this skin not only your grabs will be more effective since the tip of the blade is absurdly well done, but your R is perfect for killing. at maximum range an enemy and at times, to be able to kill him under the tower and then escape. So use it if in your team there is no Diana, Yasuo, Yone etc but even if there were it does not matter, because it has so much potential.

Vote for X

x 7/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 7.5/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ This skin has modest potential for both trying hard and killing more people in the same X as the central part is more thunderous.

Vote for X

x 7.5/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 7.5/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ This skin has modest potential both to try hard as the sides of the X are slightly elongated and to kill more people in the same X as the central part is more booming.

Vote for X

x 8/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 8-/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ This skin has good potential both to try hard as the sides of the X are slightly elongated and to kill more people in the same X as the central part is more booming. But not only does it also have particle effects that can confuse those who play against this skin, so it has a more than good rating from me.

Vote for X

x 7.5/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 10/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ This skin has excelent potential for both trying hard and killing multiple people in the same X being the most thunderous in the middle.
I recommend this skin in matchup with Yasuo, Yone, Diana, Orianna and so on since you can more easily kill more people in the same kill, with the consequence of being able to achieve a pentakill.

Vote for X

x 8+/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 8+/10 for kills in same X

Tips

✦ This skin has great potential for both trying hard and killing multiple people in the same X being the most thunderous in the middle.
Its peculiarity is having the X formed by broken segments, this makes it not only difficult to perform, but when you learn it, satisfying because you will be able to take samples in certain particular points.

Vote for X

x 9+/10 for pentakill
( killing 1 for 1 )
x 7/10 for kills in same X

Tips

Lethality and Pen. Armor

Duskblade of Draktharr

Serylda's
Grudge

Youmuu's Ghostblade

Before moving on to the gameplay, being an assassin support, we need to understand and know certain fundamental concepts for the role of an assassin, lethality and armor penetration. Lethality is a scale effect that depends on the player's level, and it is a stat that serves to produce more damage, where few would be produced due to the fault of those who build armor or are tanks.

Lethality

✦ Lethality
The formula for calculating the amount of armor you will ignore is: flat armor penetration = lethality × (0.6 + 0.4 × level ÷ 18). As a result, at level one you will always have at least 60 percent of the fixed armor penetration the item gives you. As you level up, you will receive a portion of the second equation of 0.4 multiplied by your level and divided by 18. This stat accumulates additively and cannot reduce a target's armor below zero.

Pen. Armor

✦ Pen. Armor
Lethality is the sister stat of bonus armor penetration and is applied to the target after clearing bonus armor penetration.
In a scenario where you would have 20 flat armor penetration from lethality and 30 bonus armor penetration, the target would lose 30 of their armor, before losing the fixed amount of 20. At 200 armor, for example, the target would be reduced to 140 from bonus armor penetration and then to 120 from flat armor penetration.
(200 - 30% bonus armor pen) - 20 flat armor pen = (200-60)-20 = 140-20 = 120

Last considerations

✦ Tips
The stat is useful for assassin champions who want to snowball, as it will increase their damage at the beginning by a good margin, even climbing more levels you earn during the game. Some AD champions like , , , and can benefit a lot from this stat if they make it through the lane. Since most bottom lane champions have a small amount of basic armor, you can punish them pretty hard and make sure you get a good mid-game transition. While lethality is a great stat and can help you play snowballs, it's not that efficient against champions who build a lot of armor. In such scenarios, choosing lethal items may not be the best choice. Aiming for bonus armor penetration will be much more efficient as you will ignore more armor than lethality.

Items in Gameplay

Duskblade of Draktharr

✦
It is a useful item for pyke but after its ?" nerf "? it must be tested with many games to understand if it is more effective than .

Youmuu's Ghostblade

✦
The youmuu represents the best damage contribution with the
ever since the lowest levels, and scaling with the levels allows greater ease of execution, also given by the movement speed of the active. You are very vulnerable after performing a and I think it is a good item for 2v1 fights.

Eclipse

✦
This mythic item is not suitable for , unless playing against 4-5 tanks (remember the lesson we did in the previous chapter on pen armor) in fact the is simply more effective than this object, since after an , if you are not untargettable, you are badly one shotted by 4 enemies.

-OR-

-OR-

-OR-

Mobility boots > Movement speed
They are boots that you will build often because not only do they help you roam, but their passive is very strong against those who do not get you burn damage, such as ,
, , , and will help you chase prey that will soon be excellent kills.

Mercury's Treads > TENACITY
In matches where there are either too many wizards, 2-3+ or where there are heavy cc's, these boots are for you and are a must. If in botlane you are against a , and she should catch you with his and then press , you with these boots will never die for her because you will always be able to press in time to escape, and therefore from the 's you will not be never hit.

Boots of Swiftness > Counter Slow
Buy these boots if the opposing team abuses slowdowns.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity > For CD
If you are building a mythic item other than the draktar, I recommend that you buy these boots unless the team has heavy cc, remember that the heavy cc takes precedence over everything, as they will give you less cd in your abilities and will partially fill the empty of the
.

Death's Dance

✦
the way death dance triggered with draktar's old passive for pyke won't be like before, so the combo
+
has been nerfed a lot. The item itself is never a bad idea for a pyke, because it gives him a higher survivability than other items.

Axiom Arc

✦
I don't build this item often, since in order to do it, you must not only have snowballed a lot, but be sure that the next kills you do will be yours, since every time that happens, the cd of your supreme will be reduced. I generally prioritize other items, but if you want to build it every now and then when u arent trying hard then that's ok.

Serpent's Fang

✦
It is an item that I don't build often, but it should be built for all those games where you have against teams that have a large amount of shield generating, such as , , , and so on. The 's ignores the shields, so even if the enemy shield is 4000 but the health remains in the red bar, then with an X you can kill it anyway, so I avoid building it, but work with .

Prowler's Claw

✦
The prowler in preseason 13 is finally starting to be an interesting object for , because one of the defects it had, i.e. the cooldown you lost on non-supreme spells, can be obtained from only one other item, i.e. the . Unfortunately, the only flaw in this item remains, which is within the , or the invisibility you get when you assist or kill an enemy champion.
Use this item against a team of 4-5 squishy enemies if you really want to.

Edge of Night

✦
It is an item that I almost always build as a fourth or fifth item if there are dangerous enemies in the enemy team that rely so much on an effect or a spell that focuses on a single attack, such as , , , , , , and so on.

Umbral Glaive

✦
It is a utility item, and is bought either as a second item when you notice that the enemy team is placing a lot of , or if you haven't been able to snowball that much, it is cheap enough to provide you with a lot of lethality and get you back into the game. You might think about building it as the last item if the game lasts more than 40-45 minutes, selling your support item (this should never be done) but if you need, just do it.

Wit's End

✦
This is an item to build as a last item as due to its passive that scales with levels, it will get more one hit damage, but not only the attack speed is very friendly to , and you will be able to kill enemies very well squishy. You should build this item when there are 3-4 hard AP on the enemy team.

Dead Man's Plate

✦
This item must be built against a team with hard AD, especially if there is , and bruisers who build assassin, having a lot of armor will help you and thanks to his passive, the attacks he makes are more powerful as well as giving speed of movement.

Maw of Malmortius

✦
This item must be built against a hard AP team, almost similar to , it will save you by providing you with a magical shield that absorbs damage when your damage drops below a threshold. It is the second quintessential survival item for . While it doesn't provide lethality, isn't based on that alone, survival plays a key role to win.

Chempunk Chainsword

✦
After FINALLY the buff on the antiheal and on the stats of this item, i suggest to build it in case of need against comp with high sustain rate. I suggest you look at the tips sustain chapter where I talked about the various types of sustain.

Lord Dominik's Regards

✦
Very useful if you have against a team with many tanks to activate his passive which gets along very well with that of who cannot build hp items.

Ravenous Hydra

✦
A very useful item to use in jungle or mid or adc, to facilitate in the farm and have a lot of damage and AD. If you go jungle, you can't not build it.

NEW ITEM SEASON 13

Spear of Shojin > More AD = Less CoolDown
It is an item that is built on only if you are building because as I already explained in you not only get the cooldown that you would lose by not building the , but it is a very optimal on for the following calculations:

= 65 AD + 300 HP = 86,43 AD ( for ).
We know that only 80% of the AD scales within , this means
80% of 86.43 AD = 69.144 scaling

Now suppose we take a very important lethality item for
that everyone has built, .
= 55 AD + 18 Lethality.
80% of AD scales in X, and 150% with lethality, then:
80% of 55 AD + 150% of 18 lethality = 44 + 27 = 71 scaling

Let us now take our results together, the damage contributions within the X for these items are
= 69.144
= 71

That is, the is a very optimal item for , because it has enough ad to contribute to not losing so much damage in those counted in the , even if he doesn't have lethality in his kit, but thanks to the mythical passive, he recovers it.

Avoid item to Build

Titanic Hydra

✦
It is an item that does not work with due to its , in fact, not being able to raise the hp , it will end up with an item that will give the lowest bonus in one hit attack compared to any other champion. Instead of this item you could build great if you want to play mid or as adc, to kill minions more easily, but I'll leave these considerations in a future guide maybe.

Sterak's Gage

✦
It is an item that before his nerf, gave a shield that was also quite important, so it could be built, but after his "nerf" or change, can no longer build it since the passive increases the shield with the hp that a item gives , but if 's passive converts everything to attack damage, it will give 0 shield when hp are less than 30%, being TOTALLY useless, so if you are building it it means you are trolling.
New: There is only one exception to what I just said about the sterak, that is if you are building the on that giving you infinite ad, having the sterak a % bonus ad in the passive, it will create a very powerful synergy that will enhance your R.

The Collector

✦
's ultimate would need to not execute for it to have synergy with , meaning it would have to deal damage reducing the enemy below 5% maximum health but that is not practical since his ultimate's execution threshold is so low and the damage is reduced by 50% if the target is above threshold. The only benefit you're getting is the 25 gold and even then his ultimate will be giving much more anyway so 25 is a negligible amount. In my opinion, is a very bad item for and you'd much rather prefer other Lethality items. It doesn't make sense to have two executes.

Runes

DOMINATION

Hail of Blades
: It is the prince rune for , there is no better rune than this, due to its way of playing around a hit and run thanks to its . In fact, after a grab, you have to be able to hit the enemy with all 3 blows of hail of blades, and then go away. So it maximizes damage done by better than other runes in the short term. This combo will be explained further below.

Cheap Shot
: It is chosen because of , in fact by stunning the enemy and thus creating an impediment, it will give you a bonus in damage, and being an assassin doing as much damage as possible is always very useful

Ghost Poro
: This rune is very useful for increasing your vision points, as when your ward disappears, it will release a pore that will still provide you with vision for 90 seconds.

Treasure Hunter
: Very important as a final rune, as it will provide you with a lot of early game gold to help you snowball and as you will need to kill or get an assist from a different enemy champion every time and once, you will need to roam and make sure you can kill him. This, come to think of it, is an incentive that will help you roam better over time. Since got a buff in the cooldown reduction of his ultimate, playing with is not convenient, because I assure you that always having the ultimate but not being able to use it in certain situations is not convenient because it is more efficient to have something that will make you gold.

INSPIRATION

Magical Footwear
: They are simple boots that you get on average after 11 minutes if you get 2 assists or 1 kill and 1 assist or 2 kills, and it will give you not only movement speed, but a discount to finish the purchase of the boots you want, whether they are mercury or mobility or for the cd or for the slow, thus saving you 300 gold, which combined with treasure hunter, are already 850 gold
(how to get early game 3 kills)

Future's Market
: Finally, the future market is extremely important, since every single time you return (early / mid game) to the base by going into debt to buy an item, which is also a simple sword of 10 attack damage, not only will it give you a huge advantage. , but it will be like coming back having killed someone before recall, or getting the extra gold that got when doing the assists on his own (more veteran pykes will remember this). The important thing is therefore to get DEBT every single time you go back to the base, if you don't, it will be as if you didn't have this rune, for this reason try to recall when you know you can get into debt, and I suggest you spam in chat the remaining money to buy the item you are about to build to help you with the calculus.

Combos and Mechanics

First Combo ( Q + E + basic x 3 + ? R ? )
This combo in addition to being simple will be the one you will use the most in the game,
in fact first you will use (generally loading it) to generally grab the adc or an Enchanter sup,
immediately after if you are 99% sure to grab it you will have use to stun
the opponent and immediately afterwards perform 3 basic attacks because the rune
will trigger, in this way you will perform 3 quick basic attacks but at the completion of the 3 you will have
to leave immediately because each second past after disabling the rune
will not be worth since does not have a high speed attack.
Remember that is a poke assassin champion, that is to inflict a certain amount of damage
in a short time and then stop the fight by going away, and then wait for the cooldowns
to do the same thing again, that is, it takes more fights before you can generally win one.
If his HP is in the red bar, just ult if u can.

Second Combo ( Q + E + W + basic x 3 + ? R ?)
Much like the first one, this combo makes you gain space forward if you can't reach the enemy
because they are running away or trying to dodge, in fact will give you a lot of
movement speed for the first few seconds, then decaying over time, and this will cause
your phantom to be larger than normal.
If his HP is in the red bar, just ult if u can.

Third Combo ( Q + E + Flash + basic x 3 + ? R ?)
This combo is interesting because we can enhance the distance traveled by our phantom
() with the , or to change direction if we failed
or to stun more enemies, or to escape from an unexpected engagement with us.
If his HP is in the red bar, just ult if u can.

Fourth Combo To Kill ( W + E + ? Flash ? + R )
This combo allows you to perform the execution of even at great range, you can also
combine it with the if you are desperate, the will not serve to stun but
as a dash to be able to get close, so use the flash after the .

Fifth Combo To Chase ( W + E + R + Q + basic x3)
This combo should be used in pursuit of an enemy with the HP bar above the red bar with 1-2
of your teammates and your already in recast, when you click and then last
you have to make sure that the central part of the X is in the direction where the opponent is going,
in this way you will teleport in front of him and your phantom () will reach you stunned him,
at that point walk behind him and grab him to bring him closer to your teammates.

Sixth Combo ( W + E + basic (built Prowler's Claw) + basic x 3 + Q + basic x #? + ? R ?)
With this combo we first get close to the enemy, then we go , even
before our phantom comes back to us, we pull an auto attack that will slow the enemy down because
we must have built to be able to do so, then the enemy will be stunned
() because continuing to go forward you will stun him for sure unless
he flashes away, maybe try to too if you can, at that point give the 3 basic rune
() and then you can either load the hair-burning grab in such a way as to do not fail
or you can not load it and do more damage than a normal basic and causing a slow in such a way
as to make it continue to auto attack until either it is dead or ult him
or it will not be saved because of the enemies or whatever.
If his HP is in the red bar, just ult if u can.

Tips

Now that you know the items, the champion, the mechanics, we just have to talk about all the tips I offer you to follow to make your gameplay as close as possible to that of a high-elo .

We talked in the champion session, that there are several champions that use skill effects that cause them to go into invulnerability, untargetable, unstoppable, suppression, spell shield.

But we have never asked ourselves the question of how to deal with them. As you could see from those lists, many effects counter 's abilities, roughly 1 in 4 champions in league of legends to date counter it, but then what should we do? The solution is to learn to adapt to being countered while having and to learn how to deal with certain spells.

I would say first of all to start with all those effects that I listed earlier: Well, just wait. This is because every effect does not last forever, whether it is non-targetable or invulnerable, so I prefer to use a way of playing much more focused on survival than on lethality, because if you survive (and you have to survive because your R is fundamental for others) you will be able to finish or kill after those effects all the champ that counter you, simply waiting for the right moment and learning the timing and sounds of each effect, for example the stasis of the , that is already a first approach to learn that is. In fact, if you train to use supreme just 0.01 seconds after stasis, you will certainly kill the enemy.

The most serious counters in fact for (without contradicting myself with those lists that I have listed in the samples section) are the dashes and sustains (not shield-type, only the cures, since the R passes through any shield (except etc.)).

Let's start with the first one, the dash. There are several champions who abuse the dash to dodge 's attacks.
Here is a list, I hope exhaustive, of all the champions who give dash their skills:

I will list both a list of objects and the champs that can most abuse them.

Early Game

✦ Invasion

The team with very often can invade the jungle well, in fact you can get several kills thanks to , in the map they are indicated with a circle and the arrow, the points where you have to stay still with the q ready to use it, and the routes according to the blue or red zone to follow in order to make a good invade.

If, on the other hand, you do not decide to invade, then you position yourself in the points with the circles and the arrow to wait for someone, if no one arrives, help your jungler with the red buff.

✦ In Lane (liv 1-2...-5)

As soon as you arrive in your lane, don't kill any minions with the passive , because as soon as the second wave arrives, you will always have 2 stacks that you will need to give you a time advantage for the second level.

At that point you will unlock the E (), having unlocked the q first (), and you can start hiring, or you have to, because if they are still at level 1, this will give you a huge advantage even without getting a kill but only taking away half life (a both hopefully as well). Prioritize the adc when engaging, unless you are up against a or some support that is misplacing.
Continue with your poke until you get a kill if you succeed before 6, otherwise wait until you have the R () for more impact.
Do not forget to place the vision in the river and in the places that I will later show you in the guide (scroll down).

As soon as your support item transforms ( because you have finished the 500g mission, buy the red trinket () and some .

✦ Roamming (liv 6-9) (if possible)

At about 9-10 minutes you will unlock the boots and about 15 minutes you should be able to buy them: if they are , they will help you roam in the other lanes, especially the jungle to help your jungler in danger or in the midlane.

If instead you unlock those of or another type, concentrate in your lane if you can kill easily, otherwise if you notice that there is too much passivity in your lane, I advise you to abandon your adc and make it play safe, and to roam in other wools. This unfortunately will make you lose experience unless you do it at the right times, but everything has a price, try to find a balance.

Mid Game

✦ X-Party(liv 10-15)

At this point in the game, taking advantage of my build, my champion tips, my combos, you should be able to either get a lot of kills and a few deaths, or your team couldn't keep up with you, because it's too poor , in fact, one of 's flaws is having a decent team. At this point of the game you should continue to engage on the ADC if you find it only in the moor, or to provide vision to your teammates and to stay with them to defend them from possible ambushes, I remind you that the 's w () if you stay a few meters away from the bush but with the circle on it, it is able to give you vision even if your red trinket () is on cd.

✦ 's X = Bank

If there are bounties to be taken, because some enemy champion is snowballing, try to coordinate with your jungler to win it, and in any case try to kill as many enemies as possible with the R () because every kill it will provide to whoever got the last assist, and by multiplying the gold you will sometimes be able to come back difficult games as well. Remember that your kill of X is always worth, because mathematically, if you waste it and your teammate kills, he only earns 300 gold, but if you kill him by R, and he got the last assist, you earn. 300 of gold and he 300g = 600g.

✦ Last considerations on Mid Game

The early and mid game are the parts where is strongest, but moving forward with the game unless you have , , in the team or other champ who climb on match time, it will be increasingly difficult to play and you will become almost useless. So try to win within 30-40 minutes, no longer.

✦ Map vision

Here I have shown in yellow the points where to place the ward in the botlane, in red the and in white any other ward during the course of the game.

Late Game

✦ The Hardest Part of the Game for

If you haven't been able to close the game before 30-40 minutes then prepare for the worst, because you will have to sweat and try hard to make the most of your X in clashes in which trillions of damage are inflicted and mega confusion in which sometimes you do not understand. Nothing, and where you could fail many times.

Try to stay calm and take a good look at the situation before jumping in, try to focus on who is further ahead of the enemies and try to kill him 5 vs 1 or 5 vs 2-3, then think about the rest.

Try to prioritize kills like this:
1) ADC
2) Jungler
3) Mid-laner
4) Sup
5) Top-laner

This scheme cannot always be followed, in fact a in the opposing team is enough to change the whole scheme. Try to figure out who has the most impact in team fights, and try to eliminate those first, after who does the most damage in dps (adc or jungler or mid).

Now I leave you one last very special map as a gift for being able to read my guide up to this point.
Here are marked the points where the 's E () can go through walls (almost like ), learn it because it will be very useful in some chases or in making epics escape:

✦ In Lane (liv 1-2...-5)

As soon as you arrive in lane, if you are facing a poke wizard I advise you to wait for the minions to arrive under the tower to kill them, because otherwise they will be constantly targeted for damage over time and will find you with less than half life against a wizard with full hp. This way as soon as your opponent drops his guard, try to surprise him by engaging near the tower and use to throw him into the radius of the tower, if he is forced to answer you, the tower will punish him, for this reason he seeks to make the most of the tower as if it were your adc in botlane.
It is very useful to stay under the tower and get the first of the opponents because in this way it will give the opportunity to your jungler to be able to gank without problems and get early game kills which is what you want.
If, on the other hand, you are against an assassin, or , try to engage him as you see fit xD without taking too much damage, do not look for useless clashes that would only bring you less hp than his, always try to equalize with the hp. Again, make the most of the tower if you have to.

✦ Roamming (liv 6-9) (if possible)

At about 9-10 minutes you will unlock the boots and about 15 minutes you should be able to buy them: if they are , they will help you roam in the other lanes, especially the jungle to help your jungler in danger or in the botlane.

At this point of the game you have more freedom to maneuver, both because some tower will have fallen and because from this moment on you are free to follow the adc to get some kills, or to accompany the jungler on some expedition to kill some enemy left alone in an area of the map. Try to roam in this part of the game as much as possible and get as close as possible in scenarios where enemies may be left with red health to be able to execute them.

✦ 's X = Bank

Early Game

✦ Which pokemon should i choose? xD

✦ Invasion

How much CC/Set-up does my laner have? (Can they lock down the enemy champion during the gank?)
How easily can the enemy escape a gank? (How much mobility does the enemy champion have?)
Is my laner in a good 1v1 or 2v2 matchup? (You will want to gank for your teammates that are in a favorable matchup)
Where is the enemy jungler most likely to gank? (Can I safely counter gank them if I am there?)
Will the lane that I am pathing away from be safe without early jungle help? (Am I screwing over my lanes by not helping them?)

These are all important questions that you want to be asking yourself not only as a player, but a jungler as a whole. Remember that the ability to read an early game properly is a skill that will develop over time. The more you play
the more you will learn his limits and early game patterns. Do your best to analyze where you want to start while loading into the game and trust your gut when deciding where to path. After some practice you will easily get your pathing down!

The lane in which you decide to gank will be the one in which on the opposite side you will have to kill the buff. To do this I recommend that you always place a
in the buff bush opposite where you are getting your buff, then go back to base and buy .

's Biggest problem is that he's a bad farmer if he doesn't have the
, so you have to try to get a monetary advantage right away to buy it asap in order to both farm more easily and to get an additional advantage.

I show you some ideal paths that can follow, but I leave the choice up to you.

If you want to gank bot/mid follow this based on whether you start on the blue or red side:

If you want to gank top/mid follow this based on whether you start on the blue or red side:

Instead for objectives like the dragon or the herald, try to get help from the top or mid/bot to get them, after killing at least the lane or being in a prio condition such that the opposing toplaner or the opposing bot can't go to the dragon or herald because they would lose both exp and risk being killed and losing even more exp in lane.

Always figure out where the enemy jungler is before making your move, and if he's invisible or you have no vision on him, always stay alert in case he ambushes you.

✦ Roamming (liv 6-9) (if possible)

Once you've got your and and at least at least one
, try to roam and gank as much as possible (this is the point of
jungler ) while also focusing on the farm.

Mid Game

✦ X-Party(liv 10-15)

At this point in the game, taking advantage of my build, my combo tips, being champion able to get a lot of kills and some deaths, otherwise your team could not keep up with you, because it is too poor, in fact, one of the flaws of is having a decent team.

✦ 's X = Bank

If there are bounties to be taken, because some enemy champion is snowballing, try to coordinate with your mid/assassin to win it, and in any case try to kill as many enemies as possible with the R () because every kill it will provide to whoever got the last assist, and by multiplying the gold you will sometimes be able to come back difficult games as well. Remember that your kill of X is always worth, because mathematically, if you waste it and your teammate kills, he only earns 300 gold, but if you kill him by R, and he got the last assist, you earn. 300 of gold and he 300g = 600g.
