Playing as Orianna

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Track your ball before each combo

    Keep an eye on your ball before every combo, because Command: Dissonance (W) and Command: Shockwave (R) come from it, not from you.

  2. Attack, then Dissonance

    Send your ball to your target with Command: Attack (Q), then cast Command: Dissonance (W), which damages and slows them and speeds up nearby allies.

  3. Autos on the same target

    Weave autos on the same target between spells: Clockwork Windup (passive) adds magic damage that grows with each auto on them.

  4. Ball on the ally who engages

    Attach your ball to the ally who engages with Command: Protect (E), which shields them, then cast Command: Shockwave (R) when they land in the middle of the enemies.

Playing against Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
