Playing as Azir

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Line your soldiers up on the wave

    Place your Arise! (W) soldiers so their spear thrust goes through the wave and your opponent: it hits every enemy in a line.

  2. Dash to a soldier with a clear path

    To escape, cast Shifting Sands (E) toward a soldier behind you: the spell shields you, but stops on the first enemy champion in its path.

  3. Get behind them before your R

    To get behind your target, cast Conquering Sands (Q) during the Shifting Sands (E) dash to a soldier. Emperor's Divide (R) then knocks them back toward your team.

  4. Protect your team with your wall

    Cast Emperor's Divide (R) between your team and those charging at it: the soldiers knock them back, then stay as a wall that blocks the way.

Playing against Syndra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't line up with her spheres

    Don't stand in line between Syndra and one of her spheres: Scatter the Weak (E) pushes it toward you, and it stuns the enemies it hits.

  2. Engage after Scatter the Weak

    If you can engage, go in right after Scatter the Weak (E): she has no dash and nothing else to push you back during its 15-second cooldown.

  3. Count her spheres once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, count her spheres before taking a trade: Unleashed Power (R) launches the 3 orbiting her at you, plus up to 4 more nearby.
