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 Taliyah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't cross her minefield

    When Unraveled Earth (E) is on the ground, don't cross it with a dash or get thrown through it by Seismic Shove (W): the stones explode under you and stun you.

  2. Engage after Seismic Shove

    If you can engage, go in after Seismic Shove (W): without it, she has nothing left to push you back, and no dash to escape.

  3. Knock her off her wall

    If you have CC, save it for Taliyah while she surfs on Weaver's Wall (R): once immobilized, she stops surfing immediately.
