Playing as Draven

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Catch every axe

    Catch every Spinning Axe (Q): you ready another one immediately, and you can hold two at once.

  2. Recast W on each axe

    Recast Blood Rush (W) with each axe you catch: each catch resets its cooldown, and the spell gives you move speed and attack speed.

  3. Cash in your Adoration

    Go for the kill when your League of Draven (passive) stacks are high: killing a champion gives you bonus gold based on your Adoration.

  4. Knock back whoever engages you

    Save Stand Aside (E) to push back whoever engages you: the axes knock them aside and slow them.

Playing against Kalista

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off so her spears drop

    After a trade, back off until her spears fall out: they stay stuck for 4 seconds, and Rend (E) deals more damage for each extra spear.

  2. Hit her as her auto starts

    Cast your spells as she starts an auto: she can't cancel the animation, and Martial Poise (passive) only makes her hop once the shot is out.

  3. Focus her Oathsworn

    Focus her Oathsworn when you can: without them, Fate's Call (R) has no one to throw, and Sentinel (W) loses its bonus damage.

  4. Spread out when her ally is in stasis

    When Fate's Call (R) pulls in her Oathsworn, spread out: they can launch within 4 seconds, stop at the first champion hit and knock back nearby enemies.
