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 Shyvana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when her Fury is low

    Take a trade when her Dragon Fury is low: she needs it to transform with Dragon's Descent (R), and her dragon form ends when the bar is empty.

  2. Leave her trail of fire

    Get out of the Molten Burst (E) trail when she's in dragon form: the fireball leaves fire there that burns every second.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she's in dragon form: her spells hit several enemies, and Dragon's Descent (R) makes those she flies over flee.

  4. Don't give her the large monsters

    Contest large monsters: Scalemail (passive) gives her resistances with each takedown on a large monster, large minion or champion.
