β
Beware of using your W, especially if the enemy hasnβt used their CC tool as you may get caught out while itβs on cooldown. β Ensure you get level 2 first so you can trade with the enemy. Take E at level 2 to potentially look for an early all-in. β Make the most of your Ultimate: Smolder's R can be sidestepped easily, leaving him open to enemy assaults. Utilize it strategically by activating it when foes have depleted their mobility skills or are immobilized by your support, gaining the upper hand in combat. β To use of your Passive: try to attack the enemy as much as possible to upgrade your Q early on. β Another important aspect to consider with Smolder's combos is that activating his E ability (the flying ability) will cancel flight if you press any other ability. Therefore, during combat, it's optimal to use your other abilities before activating E to ensure uninterrupted flight. β Optimize Your Range: Maintain maximum distance by positioning a minion between yourself and the target you're aiming to attack. β The size and brightness of Smolders horns indicate the number of stacks he has accumulated: the larger and brighter the horns, the more stacks he possesses. β Master Super Scorching Breath: Smolder's Q ability can stack up, becoming a potent source of damage. Prioritize maxing out this ability first as it can significantly enhance your damage output. Focus on stacking for his passive, as it plays a crucial role in maximizing his effectiveness. β Smolder can execute a Q flash or W flash maneuver, where the Q will activate from the new position, but the W will not. However, attempting an R flash to alter the direction of your R is ineffective. Avoid wasting your flash attempting this maneuver. |
