Rumble's abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
Every spell Rumble casts gives him Heat. When he reaches 50% Heat he reaches Danger Zone, granting all his basic abilities bonus effects. When he reaches 100% Heat, he starts Overheating, gaining bonus Attack Speed and granting his basic attacks bonus damage, but making him unable to cast spells for a few seconds.

Playing as Anivia
Tips to maximize your impact
- Detonate your ice on the target
Recast Flash Frost (Q) when the orb reaches your target: it explodes at once and stuns, without waiting for the end of its range.
- Frostbite a chilled target
Cast Frostbite (E) right after Flash Frost (Q), or inside a fully formed Glacial Storm (R): against a chilled target, its damage doubles.
- Cut off the escape with your wall
Place Crystallize (W) behind a fleeing enemy: the ice wall blocks the path before it melts.
- Play aggressively while your egg is up
Play more aggressively when Rebirth (passive) is available: instead of dying, you turn into an egg, and if it isn't destroyed, you come back at full health.
Playing against Rumble
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade when he overheats
Take a trade when he overheats: at 100% Heat, Junkyard Titan (passive) stops him from casting spells for a few seconds.
- Leave his Flamespitter cone
Back out of the Flamespitter (Q) cone: it burns for 3 seconds, with damage based on your max health.
- Avoid chokepoints
Avoid chokepoints in teamfights against him: The Equalizer (R) leaves a trail of fire there that slows and burns everyone who crosses it.
- Target him: he has no dash
In teamfights, if you can engage, target Rumble: he has no dash, only the speed from Scrap Shield (W).
