Playing as Ornn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pillar, then Searing Charge into it

    Cast Volcanic Rupture (Q) behind your target, then Searing Charge (E) into the pillar: when you hit that terrain, enemies around you take a knock-up.

  2. Bellows Breath before your trade

    Cast Bellows Breath (W) before your trade: nothing stops you during the breath, and the final burst of flame makes the target brittle, so your next auto knocks them back.

  3. Send your elemental back

    Recast Call of the Forge God (R) to ram the elemental: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones, and makes them brittle again.

  4. Forge your allies' masterworks

    Create masterwork items for your allies as soon as you can: Living Forge (passive) upgrades their items too, not just yours.

Playing against Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
