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 Zaahen
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Get out of his stab's line
Get out of the line of Dreaded Return (W): the stab damages you, then pulls you toward him for a second hit.
- Back off after his first Glaive
Back off once he has cast The Darkin Glaive (Q): if he recasts the spell, his next auto knocks you into the air.
- Avoid the edge of his slice
Avoid the edge of the Aureate Rush (E) slice: at the tip, you take bonus damage based on your max health.
- Plan to kill him twice
Save spells to finish him a second time: at max Determination stacks, Cultivation of War (passive) can bring him back to life.
