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 Leona
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Respect her level 2
Back off if she reaches level 2 before you: Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q) root you, then stun you.
- Trade after her E
Trade right after Zenith Blade (E): it's her only dash to engage, and it has a 12 to 6 second cooldown.
- Don't line up with an ally
Don't stand in line with an ally when facing her: Zenith Blade (E) damages every enemy in its path and roots the last champion hit.
- Save your answer for her engage
If you have a knockback or a cleanse, save it for her engage: her whole combo relies on Zenith Blade (E) followed by a stun.
- Get out of the center of her R
When Solar Flare (R) lands, get out of the center: it stuns, while the edge only slows.
