Playing as Lee Sin

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Kick your target into your team

    For the Insec, land Sonic Wave (Q), reach the target, ward behind them and jump to it with Safeguard (W): Dragon's Rage (R) kicks them toward your team.

  2. Recast Q on a low-health target

    Wait until your target has lost health before casting Resonating Strike (Q): its damage scales with missing health, and you have 3 seconds to cast it.

  3. Ward hop to escape

    Cast Safeguard (W) on an ally, minions included, or on a ward to dodge or escape: it has a 7-second cooldown and also shields the targeted allied champion.

  4. Get ahead early

    Look for invades, ganks and objectives early on: Lee Sin is strongest early, and his impact drops once the others have their items.

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.
