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 Seraphine

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Beat Drop

    Dodge Beat Drop (E), especially if you're already slowed: it roots a slowed target and stuns an immobilized one.

  2. Back off before her third spell

    Count her basic spells and back off before the third: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, whether it damages, slows or shields.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies against Encore (R): each champion hit extends its range, and a charmed ally near you lets it reach you.

  4. Target her: she has no dash

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