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 Renata Glasc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.

  2. Step up after a missed Handshake

    Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.

  3. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.

  4. Spread out from your carries

    Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.

  5. Don't hand them a kill

    When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
