Pyke's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Gift of the Drowned Ones (P)

When Pyke is hidden from enemies, he regenerates damage that he has recently taken from champions. Pyke also cannot gain extra Maximum Health from any source, and instead gains Bonus AD.

Playing as Rell

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Crash down from your mount

    Engage with Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), which knocks enemies into the air where you land and shields you until you remount.

  2. Shattering Strike on a shield

    Save Shattering Strike (Q) for a shielded target: the strike breaks all their shields and stuns every unit in the line.

  3. Pull, then crash down

    Cast Magnet Storm (R) in the middle of them, then Ferromancy: Crash Down (W) on top of them, so the enemies you just pulled in take a knock-up.

  4. Charge with the ally who engages

    Cast Full Tilt (E) on the ally engaging with you: you both gain move speed, doubled toward enemies, and your next auto explodes.

Playing against Pyke

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Put a minion between you and him

    When he charges Bone Skewer (Q), put a minion between you and him or step aside: the hook pulls the first enemy hit.

  2. Back off when sharks appear

    Back off as soon as sharks appear under your feet: it means Pyke is hidden right next to you in Ghostwater Dive (W).

  3. Leave the line of his phantom

    After the Phantom Undertow (E) dash, get out of the line between his starting point and him: the phantom returns to Pyke and stuns champions it passes through.

  4. Leave his X at low health

    Get out of the Death From Below (R) X when you're low: below its health threshold, you're executed there, and above it, you only take part of the damage.

  5. Focus him as soon as he shows

    If you can reach him, focus him as soon as he shows himself: out of your sight, Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) restores the damage you just dealt him.
