Gift of the Drowned Ones (P)

When Pyke is hidden from enemies, he regenerates damage that he has recently taken from champions. Pyke also cannot gain extra Maximum Health from any source, and instead gains Bonus AD.

Playing as Lulu

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Cast E on your carry first

    Cast Help, Pix! (E) on your carry before they trade: they get a shield, and Pix fires along with each of their autos.

  2. Pix on the enemy, then your Q

    Send Pix onto an enemy with Help, Pix! (E), then cast Glitterlance (Q): Pix also fires one from where he is, right on the target.

  3. Polymorph the diving assassin

    Save Whimsy (W) for the assassin diving your carry: turned into a critter, they can't attack or cast spells.

  4. Grow the ally being focused

    Cast Wild Growth (R) on the ally being focused or going all-in: they gain a lot of health, and nearby enemies are knocked into the air, then slowed.

Playing against Pyke

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Put a minion between you and him

    When he charges Bone Skewer (Q), put a minion between you and him or step aside: the hook pulls the first enemy hit.

  2. Back off when sharks appear

    Back off as soon as sharks appear under your feet: it means Pyke is hidden right next to you in Ghostwater Dive (W).

  3. Leave the line of his phantom

    After the Phantom Undertow (E) dash, get out of the line between his starting point and him: the phantom returns to Pyke and stuns champions it passes through.

  4. Leave his X at low health

    Get out of the Death From Below (R) X when you're low: below its health threshold, you're executed there, and above it, you only take part of the damage.

  5. Focus him as soon as he shows

    If you can reach him, focus him as soon as he shows himself: out of your sight, Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) restores the damage you just dealt him.
