Draven's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

League of Draven (P)

Draven gains his fans' Adoration when he catches a Spinning Axe or kills a minion, monster, or tower. Killing enemy champions grants Draven bonus gold based on how much Adoration he has.

Playing as Ezreal

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land as many Qs as you can

    Land Mystic Shot (Q) as often as you can: each hit lowers all your cooldowns and adds a Rising Spell Force (passive) stack.

  2. Detonate the orb with a spell

    Detonate Essence Flux (W) with a spell rather than an auto: the orb deals its damage either way, but a spell refunds its mana cost plus a bonus.

  3. Save your E to escape

    Save Arcane Shift (E) to escape unless the kill is certain: it's your only way to reposition, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Finish across the map

    Cast Trueshot Barrage (R) across the map to finish a fleeing target: it hits everything in its line, but deals less to minions and non-epic monsters.

Playing against Draven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard when he drops an axe

    Play hard when he drops a Spinning Axe (Q): without it, he loses his bonus damage and the Blood Rush (W) reset.

  2. Aim where his axe lands

    If you have skillshots, aim where his Spinning Axe (Q) falls: he has to go there to catch it.

  3. Engage after his Stand Aside

    If you can engage, wait until Stand Aside (E) is used: it's his only spell to push you back, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.

  4. Don't give him kills

    Don't hand him kills: with League of Draven (passive), each champion he kills gives him bonus gold based on his stored Adoration.

  5. Beware his axes at low health

    At low health, beware of Whirling Death (R), which crosses the map: it executes a champion below a threshold that grows with his Adoration.
