Playing as Quinn
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Kayle
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade early
Take your trades early: at first, her attack range is a melee champion's, and Divine Ascent (passive) only extends it as she levels up.
- Freeze and starve her of levels
Freeze the wave near your tower to keep her off minions: each level empowers her autos through Divine Ascent (passive).
- CC during her R, damage after
During Divine Judgment (R), hold your damage but use any CC you have: the target can't take damage, but can still be slowed or stunned.
- Force early objectives
Force objectives and teamfights early on: Kayle gains power with every level, so every minute of the game plays in her favor.
