Playing as Camille

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Garen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hit him regularly

    Hit him regularly, even with a small poke: Perseverance (passive) only regenerates him if he hasn't taken damage recently.

  2. At range, kite him

    If you're ranged, kite him: his kit has no dash, and only Decisive Strike (Q) speeds him up and removes his slows.

  3. Burst after his shield

    Wait for the Courage (W) shield to end before your burst: the spell starts with a shield and tenacity, then keeps only a damage reduction.

  4. Don't stay low once he hits 6

    Once he hits level 6, back instead of staying in lane at low health against him: Demacian Justice (R) deals true damage that grows with your missing health.
