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 Volibear

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: his second Frenzied Maul (W) on the same target hits harder and heals him based on his missing health.

  2. Cut his charge short with CC

    If you have CC, use it while he charges with Thundering Smash (Q): his stunning hit is canceled, but the spell comes back right away.

  3. Back off after his Thundering Smash

    After his Thundering Smash (Q), keep your distance: until its 12 to 10 second cooldown is over, only Stormbringer (R) can bring him back onto you in one go.

  4. Don't count on your tower

    Once he hits level 6, don't count on your tower when he dives: Stormbringer (R) disables it for a few seconds on landing.
