Playing as Blitzcrank

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Grab from a clear angle

    Fire Rocket Grab (Q) from a brush or a side angle: it grabs the first enemy hit, so you need a line without minions.

  2. Power Fist right after the grab

    After a successful grab, cast Power Fist (E) right away: your next auto knocks the target into the air and deals double damage.

  3. Sometimes engage without a grab

    Sometimes engage without a grab: rush in with Overdrive (W), knock your target into the air with Power Fist (E), and save Rocket Grab (Q) for when they Flash away.

  4. Bait with your shield

    Use Mana Barrier (passive) to bait: at low health you get a shield based on your mana, enough to make a kill look easy.

  5. Save your grab for their carry

    In teamfights, save Rocket Grab (Q) for their carry and wait for them out of vision: grabbing them before the fight starts often decides it.

Playing against Renata Glasc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.

  2. Step up after a missed Handshake

    Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.

  3. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.

  4. Spread out from your carries

    Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.

  5. Don't hand them a kill

    When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
