Playing as Ornn
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Anivia
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Sidestep her ice
Dodge Flash Frost (Q) by stepping to the side: without the chill, Frostbite (E) doesn't double its damage.
- Play hard before she hits 6
Push your wave and take trades before she hits level 6: without Glacial Storm (R), she struggles to clear the wave and can't hold an area.
- Drain her mana
Force her to spend her mana: Flash Frost (Q) costs 80 to 100 mana, and Glacial Storm (R) drains some every second.
- Destroy the egg right away
Focus the Rebirth (passive) egg as soon as it appears: if it hatches, she comes back to life at full health.
