Playing as Milio
Tips to maximize your impact
- Drop your campfire by your carry
Cast Cozy Campfire (W) near your carry before a trade: the hearth follows them, gives them attack range and health over time, and applies Fired Up! (passive).
- Protect your carry with your E
Stay behind your carry and protect them with Warm Hugs (E): its two charges stack on the same target, shield and move speed included.
- Kick back whoever engages
Aim Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) at whoever engages: it knocks back the first enemy hit, then explodes behind them and slows nearby enemies.
- Save your R for their engage
Save Breath of Life (R) for the enemy engage: it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from nearby allies, heals them and gives them tenacity.
Playing against Nami
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her bubble, then step up
Change direction when she casts Aqua Prison (Q), then step up if she misses: it's her only stun outside her ult, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.
- Back off when she blesses her ADC
Avoid trading when she casts Tidecaller's Blessing (E) on her ally: their next autos and abilities slow you and deal more damage.
- Dodge the wave sideways
Step out to the side of Tidal Wave (R): it travels a long way but moves slowly, and its slow lasts longer the more distance it has covered.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Nami when she steps up: with no dash or leap, she can only walk away.
