Playing as Quinn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Vault off the melee charging you

    Cast Vault (E) on the melee champion charging you: you leap back after the hit, and your target is slowed and marked by Harrier (passive).

  2. Auto every marked target

    Auto every target marked by Harrier (passive): your first auto on them deals bonus damage, and Heightened Senses (W) then gives you speed.

  3. Trade from range against melee

    Against a melee champion, trade from range: Blinding Assault (Q) marks them with Harrier and reduces their vision before your empowered auto.

  4. Roam with your R

    Roam with Behind Enemy Lines (R): after a 2-second channel, you gain a lot of speed, and an auto or a spell ends the flight with an area attack.

Playing against Irelia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from low-health minions

    Don't stand near your low-health minions: Bladesurge (Q) resets when it kills, so she chains dashes from minion to minion until she reaches you.

  2. Dodge the line of her blades

    As soon as the first blade of Flawless Duet (E) lands, change direction: the stun only hits enemies caught between the two blades.

  3. Trade before her passive stacks

    Take your trades when Ionian Fervor (passive) isn't stacked: she builds stacks with her abilities, and at max stacks her autos deal more damage.

  4. Wait out her Defiant Dance

    Save your burst for after Defiant Dance (W): while charging, she takes much less damage, but she can't do anything else.

  5. Dodge her blade ult

    Dodge Vanguard's Edge (R): its blades make you Unsteady, which resets Bladesurge (Q) on you, and the cage they form damages and slows anyone who crosses it.
