Playing as Miss Fortune

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Double Up off a dying minion

    Fire Double Up (Q) at a dying minion in front of a champion: if the shot kills the minion, the bounce onto the champion always crits.

  2. Switch targets

    Switch targets often: Love Tap (passive) adds damage on each new target, and lowers the cooldown of Strut (W).

  3. Position with Strut

    Activate Strut (W) to get in position before Bullet Time (R): you instantly gain its max move speed bonus, plus attack speed.

  4. R into clumped enemies

    Cast Bullet Time (R) on enemies who are CC'd or bunched up in a chokepoint: it's a channeled cone, and each wave can crit.

Playing against Vel'Koz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch both branches of his plasma

    Get out of the line of Plasma Fission (Q) and watch its sides too: the bolt splits into two branches at 90 degrees when it hits a target or he recasts it.

  2. Back off before the third stack

    Back off after taking two of his spells: at the third Organic Deconstruction (passive) stack, you take a burst of true damage.

  3. Engage after Tectonic Disruption

    If you can engage, go in after Tectonic Disruption (E): it's his only spell to push back someone charging him, and he has no dash to escape.

  4. Interrupt his ray

    If you have a stun, a silence or a knock-up, save it for Life Form Disintegration Ray (R): any of them interrupts the ray.
