Playing as Hecarim

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charge from far away

    Cast Devastating Charge (E) far from your target: the longer the run, the farther the knockback and the harder the hit, and Warpath (passive) turns your bonus move speed into AD.

  2. Engage from range with your R

    Cast Onslaught of Shadows (R) from range: the fear from the shockwave, at the end of the dash, lasts longer after a long run.

  3. Recast Rampage without waiting

    In teamfights, recast Rampage (Q) as soon as it's back: each cast that hits adds a stack, which lowers its cooldown and raises its damage.

  4. Activate your W in the thick of it

    Activate Spirit of Dread (W) in the middle of the enemies: you gain armor and magic resist, and heal for part of the damage you and your team deal to them.

Playing against Wukong

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his W

    Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.

  2. Ignore the still clone

    When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.

  4. Escape after his second Cyclone

    If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
