Playing as Pyke

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hook from the fog of war

    Charge Bone Skewer (Q) from a brush or the fog of war: when held, it pulls the first enemy hit, and refunds mana if it hits a champion.

  2. Dash through your target

    Dash through your target with Phantom Undertow (E): the phantom left behind returns to you and stuns champions in its path.

  3. Leave their vision to recover

    After a trade, get out of their vision: Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) regenerates the damage champions just dealt you.

  4. Chain your executions

    Cast Death From Below (R) on a target below the threshold: each champion who dies in the X lets you recast it, and your last assisting ally also gets the kill gold.

  5. Roam camouflaged

    Roam or flank with Ghostwater Dive (W): you're camouflaged and gain a lot of move speed, which decays over time.

Playing against Amumu

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.

  2. Step up after both bandages

    Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.

  4. Ward the way into your lane

    Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
