Playing as Camille
Tips to maximize your impact
- Wait before your second Q
Wait a moment before the second Precision Protocol (Q) attack: after a short delay, it hits harder and part of its damage becomes true damage.
- Hit with the edge of your W
Hit your opponent with the outer half of Tactical Sweep (W): they are slowed, take extra damage, and you heal for part of it.
- Leap off the wall onto your target
Fire Hookshot (E) at a wall near your target, then leap: you stun champions where you land, and the leap goes twice as far toward a champion.
- Isolate their carry with your R
Cast The Hextech Ultimatum (R) on their carry: they can't leave the zone, other nearby enemies are knocked away, and you interrupt their channels.
Playing against Aatrox
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Avoid the edge of his blade
Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.
- Get out of his chains fast
Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.
- Trade after his blade
Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.
- Short trades
Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.
- Respect his level 6
Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
