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 Janna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade into her shield

    Avoid trading while her ally has Eye Of The Storm (E): the shield absorbs your damage and gives them AD.

  2. Engage twice

    Bait out Howling Gale (Q) or Monsoon (R) with a first engage, then re-engage right away: one has a 14-second cooldown, the other 130 to 100 seconds.

  3. Cancel her Monsoon heal

    If you have CC, save it for Monsoon (R): after the knockback, she heals her allies as long as she stands still, and interrupting her cancels the heal.
