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 Trundle
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Draw him out of his domain
Don't fight in Frozen Domain (W): he gains move speed, attack speed and increased healing inside. Back off to draw him out of the zone.
- Back off after his Chomp
If you deal physical damage, back off after his Chomp (Q): it steals some of your attack damage for a few seconds, and he gains it.
- Get away from his pillar fast
Get away from Pillar of Ice (E) as fast as you can: it slows nearby enemies and blocks the path while it stands.
- Back off when he steals your resists
Back off when he casts Subjugate (R) on you: he steals part of your armor and magic resist, and gains what you lose.
