Playing as Fiddlesticks

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Strike from out of their vision

    Channel Crowstorm (R) out of their vision, from a brush or behind a wall: if you're unseen when your spells hit, Terrify (Q) fears them too.

  2. Aim the center of your scythe

    Aim the center of Reap (E) at the key target: in the center, they're silenced; at the edges, only slowed.

  3. Finish your harvest

    Channel Bountiful Harvest (W) to the end on camps and minion groups: you heal for part of the damage, and the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  4. Place your effigies

    Place the effigies from A Harmless Scarecrow (passive) in key brushes: they replace your trinket, and Terrify (Q) can fear when you're mimicking one.

Playing against Graves

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep units between you and him

    Stay behind your minions or your frontline: the 4 bullets of each New Destiny (passive) auto can't pass through units.

  2. Hit him from outside his range

    If you're ranged, hit him from a distance: his autos only reach 425, and New Destiny (passive) forces him to reload when his shotgun is empty.

  3. Get out of his smoke

    Leave Smoke Screen (W) quickly rather than fighting inside it: the smoke slows you and cuts off all vision outside it.

  4. Drag the game out

    If your team scales better over time, play for time: Graves is strongest in the early and mid game.
