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 Ashe

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.

  2. Back off during her Focus

    Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.

  3. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.

  4. Dodge her long-range arrow

    Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
