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 Volibear
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: his second Frenzied Maul (W) on the same target hits harder and heals him based on his missing health.
- Cut his charge short with CC
If you have CC, use it while he charges with Thundering Smash (Q): his stunning hit is canceled, but the spell comes back right away.
- Back off after his Thundering Smash
After his Thundering Smash (Q), keep your distance: until its 12 to 10 second cooldown is over, only Stormbringer (R) can bring him back onto you in one go.
- Don't count on your tower
Once he hits level 6, don't count on your tower when he dives: Stormbringer (R) disables it for a few seconds on landing.
