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 Seraphine
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her Beat Drop
Dodge Beat Drop (E), especially if you're already slowed: it roots a slowed target and stuns an immobilized one.
- Back off before her third spell
Count her basic spells and back off before the third: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, whether it damages, slows or shields.
- Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies against Encore (R): each champion hit extends its range, and a charmed ally near you lets it reach you.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Seraphine: her kit has no dash to escape.
