Playing as Nautilus

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hook their carry

    Aim Dredge Line (Q) at their carry: you and your target are pulled toward each other, and they're briefly stunned.

  2. Auto right after your Dredge Line

    After Dredge Line (Q), land an auto right away: Staggering Blow (passive) roots the target after the stun, giving your ADC time to arrive.

  3. Switch targets to root

    In teamfights, hit a new target whenever you can: your first auto on each target triggers Staggering Blow (passive) and briefly roots them.

  4. Depth Charge on their backline carry

    Cast Depth Charge (R) on their backline carry: every enemy the shockwave crosses along the way also takes a knock-up and a stun.

Playing against Elise

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up after a missed Cocoon

    Step up when her Cocoon (E) misses you: it's her only stun, on a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stay low near her bite

    Don't stay in melee range at low health: in spider form, Venomous Bite (Q) lunges at you and deals damage based on your missing health.

  3. Ward the way into your lane

    Ward the path between her jungle and your lane: when she ganks, Cocoon (E) stuns you from range as soon as it hits.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive her first minutes, play for time: Elise is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
