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 Gragas

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Body Slam (E) stops on the first enemy it meets, minions included.

  2. Get out of the barrel zone fast

    Get out of the Barrel Roll (Q) area right away: the longer the barrel sits on the ground, the more its explosion hurts and slows.

  3. Step up after a missed E

    Step up when Body Slam (E) hits nobody: its cooldown isn't reduced and stays at 14 to 12 seconds.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies: Explosive Cask (R) knocks every enemy away from the impact, which can split you up or send you toward his team.
