Playing as Locke

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Nails first, then Pursuit

    Cast Ritual Nails (Q) before Ashen Pursuit (E): your hits consume the nails stuck in the target, and each extra nail adds damage.

  2. Finish them with autos

    Finish off wounded targets with autos: Silver Stake (passive) adds magic damage that grows with their missing health.

  3. Activate W as the trade starts

    Activate Soul Ignition (W) at the start of a trade: it costs you health, but at the end, you heal back part of the last damage taken, plus more based on your missing health.

  4. Save E for a kill or a gank

    Save Ashen Pursuit (E) for a sure kill or to escape a gank: it's your only instant movement, it has a 10-second cooldown, and only a takedown resets it.

  5. Save Purgatory to finish

    Save Purgatory (R) to finish: it seals marked enemies below a health threshold, and when you pick up the artifact, each sealed champion raises that threshold for good.

Playing against Fizz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard without his E

    Take your trades when he doesn't have Playful (E), in the early levels or right after he uses it: it's his only dodge, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when his trident glows

    Back off after the empowered Seastone Trident (W) auto: if it doesn't kill, his autos deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds.

  3. Dodge his fish

    Dodge the Chum the Waters (R) fish by stepping aside: it attaches to the first champion hit and slows them, then a shark knocks them into the air.

  4. Move away if the fish has you

    If the Chum the Waters (R) fish attaches to you, move away from your allies: the shark knocks back and damages everyone around you.
