Playing as Nautilus
Tips to maximize your impact
- Hook their carry
Aim Dredge Line (Q) at their carry: you and your target are pulled toward each other, and they're briefly stunned.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Renata Glasc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.
- Step up after a missed Handshake
Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.
- Spread out from your carries
Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.
- Don't hand them a kill
When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
