Playing as Bel'Veth
Tips to maximize your impact
- Change direction with each dash
Chain Void Surge (Q) in different directions: each direction has its own cooldown, which drops with your attack speed.
- Only cast W when it can't miss
Cast Above and Below (W) when the target can't dodge it: hitting a champion knocks them into the air and refreshes Void Surge (Q) in that direction.
- Eat the coral to transform
After a kill or an epic monster, eat the Void Coral with Endless Banquet (R): your true form gives you health, range and attack speed.
- Farm the big monsters
Take large monsters, large minions and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives you permanent attack speed for each one.
Playing against Hecarim
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Leave the landing point of his R
When he casts Onslaught of Shadows (R), move away from the end of his dash: the shockwave there fears every nearby enemy, longer after a long run.
- Save your CC for his charge
If you have a slow or CC, save it for Devastating Charge (E): he gains speed as he runs, and Warpath (passive) turns it into AD.
- Save your burst for after his W
Wait for Spirit of Dread (W) to end before your burst: while it lasts, he gains armor and magic resist and heals from damage dealt around him.
- Ward his gank paths
Ward his gank paths: Devastating Charge (E) gains speed over time, so he looks to build momentum in the fog of war.
