Playing as Milio

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Nautilus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Once he hits level 2, stay behind your minions: the Dredge Line (Q) anchor hooks the first enemy hit, then the Staggering Blow (passive) auto keeps you in place.

  2. Hold still against Riptide

    When he casts Riptide (E) near you, stay put until it ends: its three explosions spread out around him, and running too early makes you take the next ones and their slow.

  3. Back off after his anchor

    When Dredge Line (Q) misses you, keep your distance: it's his only spell to reach you, on a 14 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his shockwave's path

    When he aims Depth Charge (R) at an ally, don't stand between them: the shockwave chases its target, and every enemy in its path takes a knock-up.
