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 Rakan

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Gleaming Quill (Q) strikes the first enemy in its path, and if it hits a champion, Rakan heals his team.

  2. Keep your distance

    Keep your distance when his ADC steps up: Grand Entrance (W) lets him leap onto you, and enemies around his landing spot take a knock-up.

  3. Save your CC for his arrival

    If you have CC, save it for when he lands in the middle of your team: only Battle Dance (E) then lets him leave toward an ally.

  4. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he casts The Quickness (R): he charms every enemy he touches while running.
