Hello everyone!

I am CloneOrNot a german Streamer and Toplane OTP. I got 750k on and chill at high gold at the moment.

This is my first guide on mobafire. I hope you guys like it. If you got something to criticize, tell it to me in the comments so that I can improve on it.

If you got something I should add or something I should change, just write me and I will look what I can do.

Some Abbreviations I use in this guide

PROS

+ Good burst in mid- to lategame
+ Nearly ungankable
+ High diversity at items and runes
+ High mobility
+ Good catch potential
+ Easy early Herald
+ Good pull
+ Basics are easy to learn

s basics are very simple too understand. Overally Toplane is a good and intresting pick due to the diversity in builds and playstile aswell as the chances of amazing mindgames or outplays.

CONS

- Bad 1v1 against most Tanks and tanky Bruisers
- Bad earlygame burst
- No prio for JG at the start
- Early is very reliable on boxes
- High mana consum
- Many counter and can be easy countered by items
- Bad in teamfights
- Bad waveclear, due to missing AoE besides W
- Solo carry is nearly impossible

Although doesnt look too hard there are some machanics that arent so simple and need a lot of time. Calculating damage, walljumps with ultimate and efficient bating are some of the harder things that you will have to master to get good on .

When using while being invis will blink up as a white figre for a very short time.

Tip

Due to the high mana cost you should let on level one till you got full stacked/ near full stacked, because after full stacked you got enough mana.

Box placement

Try to get only one or two before your is stacked. When is stacked you can start to use bigger traps with three to four .
More to the Placement of your under:
Boxplacement

Farming

Try to farm as save as possible till you get especially against champions that can engage you very fast and deal much damage at once as or . If you get it you can just push the wave and help your JG, midlane or just invade the enemy / .

Wavemanagment

Try to hold the wave in the marked area. To farm under your turret is very hard because you have to go behind the minions to deal damage against them and during this the enemy can damage you. Aswell you should avoid to push under the enemy turret because your get shown near their turret and some champions can engage you very easy from under the turret as or poke you down as or .
More informations about general wavemanagment can be found HERE.

Fighting

You need to learn the matchups. In some matchups you can engage early in some you cant and must stay near you boxes till you got one or two items. Also try to poke always with your E when is up or when you got full mana after is stacked. If you fight try to get the enemy to walk in a or only try to get proked by attacking im two times and then trowing a .

Objectives

Try to get with your JG as early as possible to get top or mid turret with platings to get an massiv gold lead. Before you go to just push the wave with your or a and place so that the wave needs very long to bounce back.

Teamfights

As long as you didnt got your you should avoid teamfights, except you are far ahead. When teamfighting try to oneshot one of the enemy carries, bait the enemy team in a trap, clear up the teamfight afterwards or use your clone to get a fear on the enemies by jumping in an using . You can also use before jumping in. I explain HERE how this is done.

Splitpush

The best option during midgame is splitpushing. You got with your a save splitpush and a save escape with your . Just wait till your team pushes another lane and then push a sidelane. They will need one to stop your push the tower and two to three to stop you to being there and taking the minions. If you think that your team will get engaged stay with your team till you and then on the sidelane.

Objectives

Try to help at objectives with some by placing near entrances, so that the enemy can't come closer. You can also go on the sidelane and split so that your team could also fight in a 4vs4 or 4vs3 when the enemy tries to contest it, but be sure that you got when going on the sidelane so that you can help your team when they get in trouble.

Trapping

If you know the enemies walkpath and see that the midlane or adc is always moving solo around, place a where they will walk. If they walk in the you get a easy kill. If ahead you dont need the by using a Combo.

Explanation of the signs

Level 1 Trap

Version I.I
The clasic Lv 1 trap. You need 3 . Place the first 0:45 before the buffs spawn and then place always till you got 3. Then wait. When the enemy walks in a place the next on right behind him so that he gets feared from to . He will has to or dies.

Version I.II
The clasic Lv 1 trap. You need 3 . Place the first 0:45 before the buffs spawn and then place always till you got 3. Then wait. When the enemy walks in a place the next on right behind him so that he gets feared from to . He will has to or dies. This trap is most like the first one but it uses one from coming away after using .

Version II
This trap is good if the enemy will not come from or if you are not sure. This trap should always be set up. Place the first on the river side at 0:45, then place the others till you got 3 . If the enemy walks in a place another one behind him. If he doesnt walk in one try to bait him in the two on river side.

Version III
This trap is the best one when playing on blue side. This trap should always be set up. Place the first on the river side at 0:45, then place the others till you got 3 . If the enemy walks in a place another one behind him. If he doesnt walk in one try to bait him in the two on river side.

Lv 1 Trap exapmle

Here is an example of an Lv 1 trap from my steam against a . Even tough one of my already died I outdamaged her hard with two and .

Laning

Blue side
All places were are good repealed. When trying to trap an enemy with you should choose one position and place up to four around it.

Red side
All places were are good repealed. When trying to trap an enemy with you should choose one position and place up to four around it.

Saefty box

Safety Box
If you have pushed all in or your enemy wants to hard engage you, you can also place the behind the wave. This version gives you more safety from an engage of the enemy, but it got the disadvantage that if the wave bounces back in your direction some boxes will proc.

Objective Cover

Objective cover
These cover most/ all entraces to and use them when your team wants to do [baron nashor]] or Blue side is the same, just the from are at and the once from are at

Trap spots

Best trap spots
These are some of the best spots to set up a trap, but there are much more. Place one to three on those spots and then wait for an enemy to walk into them. Traps are good on spots that arent too wide and where often enemies are moving along.

Pre 6 engage combos

Version I: The basic damage combo
-> AA ->
A damage combo pre 6 for getting fast as much damage out as possible. You can skip the second AA when the enemy is out of range or low enough to execute him.

Version II: All in engage
-> -> AA -> ->
It is nearly as the first version but this time you also use to get more damage and a fear. Set the in the walking path of the enemy to optimize its effektive. Its your main combo to engage full or nearly full enemies.

After lv 6 engage combos

Version I: The basic damage combo/ oneshot combo
-> -> -> AA ->
A damage combo after 6 for getting fast as much damage out as possible and the best one to oneshot your enemy. You can skip the second AA when the enemy is out of range or low enough to execute him. You can delay your first AA to trick the enemy to think that your clone is you.

Version II: All in engage
-> -> -> -> AA ->
It is nearly as the first version but this time you also use to get more damage and a fear. Set the in the walking path of the enemy to optimize its effektive. Its your main combo to engage against fulllife or tanky enemies.

Pre 6 trap combos

For all these combos you need a trap before starting the combo, out of one or more .

Version I: Combo withour another box
AA -> -> AA ->
When the enemy walks in a and you go not another use this combo. When you need to gap close you can use first to get near enough.

Version II: Main Combo/b]
-> AA -> -> AA -> ... ->
Use your as late as possible to optimize its damage. Place the on the other side from the enemy to get him traped between the . If you are too fare away just use .

After lv 6 trap combos

For all these combos you need a trap before starting the combo, out of one or more .

Version I.I: Trapping Combo
-> -> AA -> -> AA -> ... ->
This is the maine verion. It is very fast and good when you got because your clone also uses the on hit effect of the item. This is also the faster version of this combo with an high amout of damage.

Version II: Non duskblade trapping combo
-> AA -> -> AA -> -> AA -> ... ->
Its nearly the same as the one before. You just AA before . This gives you some more damage because you AA one more time and gets proked even earlier.

More damage

There are two versions of the uses under the ***pect of damage, one is splited in three parts.
Version I: When you are in a fight just use to deal more damage. The clone will not prock and because of the damage lose this isnt too effektive.

Version II.I: Use and when you are at the enemy use this is the classic use of that is nearly allways used when you engage. The only disadvantage is that the enemy sees the smoke before you can damage him, so he gets time to run away and position new.

Version II.II: Use before . When you use send the clone away from you so that he teleports back to you and the enemy sees the clone first and trows his abilities on it then you beginn to attack. This version is a little bit harder because you have to get the right moment.

Version II.III: It is basicaly the same as II, but this time you try to get to explode in the moment where it teleports to you. Just wait till the timer is low and then use as before.

Disengage

Escaping: Using gives you a a Little bit time due to the vanishing part. If your got a short Cd remaining you can just use to bridge the time of the Cd. You can also jump with over walls to come away. Walljumps are shown in the next subchapter.

Mobility

Explanation of the signs

The picture shows all spots were walljumps with are possible.

To learn all the jumps you will need some time. The extrem hard jump at pit is nearly impossible to get all the time because you got only a very small spot where it is possible. All other spots can be done consistent with some training. In the video I show how the harder jumps are done.

Dodging

can doge with some spells as , or . The time window is very small and because of this as an example is very hard to doge. It will take some time till you get the doges consistent. Some spells as get reseted when you doge them so if you do so, try to get as fast away as possible or he will ult instandly again.

Mindgames

Version I: The easiest and most classic one. Go in a bush and use . Dont go in a bush to close to your enemy because they see the smoke. Then walk out of the bush with your clone and play as it would be you and bait the enemy in a trap, to use spells on it or just to kill it to kill him with the damage.

Version II: You will Need some preperation for this one. Place a trap with three or more . Then use as before than walk with your clone exectly over one of the . If done on the . For the enemy it will look as you would and he will try to stop you. With this you get a free kill, but only use this in moments where you are sure the enemy will try to stop you from , because if he doesnt you waste an .

Version III: As already mentioned in the damage subchapter you can use before using . When the clone blinks back to you can baite some spells out and get then a easier fight.

Version IV: You can do some tricks reversed. Use in a bush or on the lane. Then walk with your clone behind in a trap and walk by yourself forwards to farm or attack the enemy. Most of the time the enemy will try to get to your clone to kill him. Use this trick when you are already low. You can also use this trick when escaping. Run away with your clone while sanding still when they attacking your clone run away in the other direction.

Tips

Number 1:
Dont use in a strait line between you and your enemy. Try to walk in a small cruve. When using the enemy has to predict where you are and will most of the time aim in the direction of your old position. When moving in a small curve the chance that he hits you is much smaller.

Number 2:
Dont use abilities instandly after . It shows the enemy witch one is the right one and your illusion is gone. Use spells before as or or use them later to execute or follow up as with or .

Number 3:
Try to get as early as possible to open the map and to get a chance to roam and help other lanes. You can solo it by using and . You will just need your jungler to .

Tricks

Number 1:
You can use out of its range. If you use afterwards and come in range within the blink the will be placed instandly.

Number 2:

You can perform some long jumps along the map. In the video I show the two most used once, which get primary used for ganking. You have to stand at the end of the bush and move your mouse to a specific spot then press and you have done it.

Number 3:

You can clear with four at Level 1 when starting with . Just place the around the middle of the camp, you can place the first one when the time of the is at 1:01. When you placed four you can just go away. Just ask your jungler if you can take it. Many jungler only do the camp on the second clear, so you can just get free XP and Gold with witch you get a small advantage in lane because you are after three minions lv 2.

Number 4:
You can clear a whool wave with only one activation. Just move through the wave so that meele and ranged minions stand near to each other. Then just use . When the wave got a cannon minion it can be that you have too AA sometimes.

Remember

Number 1:
Remember that the enemy can see if you use even when you are in fog of war. They will see the smoke it leaves behind.

Number 2:
Remember that the enemy can see if you use another ability during . When using will be shown in white scale for a very short time.
