Playing as K'Sante

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Stack your Q on minions

    Stack Ntofo Strikes (Q) on minions: after 2 hits, the next cast becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls, so save it for the champion.

  2. Charge your W through CC

    Charge Path Maker (W) when they throw CC at you: while charging, you're Unstoppable and take less damage, then your dash knocks back and stuns.

  3. Join an ally with your E

    Cast Footwork (E) toward an ally to protect them or escape: the dash goes much farther, and you both gain a shield.

  4. Send your target through a wall

    Knock your target into a wall with All Out (R): they go through it, you follow, and you hit harder at the cost of some of your health and resistances.

Playing against Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
