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 Naafiri

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her daggers

    Dodge Darkin Daggers (Q): her pack leaps onto the first champion hit, and the second dagger hits harder if you're already bleeding.

  2. Kill her pack with AoE spells

    If you have AoE spells, hit her pack too: each packmate killed lowers her damage. Do it before Eviscerate (E) calls them back and heals them.

  3. Wait out The Call of the Pack

    Save your targeted spells for after The Call of the Pack (W): for a brief moment, she and her pack are untargetable.

  4. Don't wander alone

    Avoid crossing the map alone against her: Hounds' Pursuit (R) lets her dash onto a champion from range, and a takedown lets her recast it.
