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 Rek'Sai

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from where she surfaces

    Keep your distance when she's burrowed near you: with Un-burrow (W), enemies near where she surfaces take a knock-up.

  2. Back off when her Fury is full

    Back off when her Fury is full: Furious Bite (E) then deals true damage.

  3. Save your CC for after her Rush

    If you have CC, save it for after Void Rush (R): she's untargetable first, then lunges at her target and can't be stopped.

  4. Destroy her tunnels

    Destroy every Tunnel (E) you find by standing on an entrance: it's a lasting path she reuses to escape or to gank.

  5. Stand still when you're hidden

    When hidden in a brush or the fog of war, stop moving if she's burrowed near you: Burrow (W) only reveals to her team unseen enemies who move.
