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 Rakan
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.
- Keep your distance
Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.
- Save your CC for his arrival
If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.
- Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
