Playing as Renata Glasc
Tips to maximize your impact
- Shield and slow in one cast
Cast Loyalty Program (E) through allies and enemies: its two missiles shield your allies and slow enemies by 30%.
- Throw your target where you want
Recast Handshake (Q) to throw your target away from your carry, or into their allies: a thrown champion stuns the enemies they crash into.
- Bailout on the ally in danger
Cast Bailout (W) on an ally about to die mid-fight: they return to full health, then lose it over 3 seconds unless they get a takedown.
- Turn their grouped carries berserk
Cast Hostile Takeover (R) on their grouped carries: berserk, they attack the nearest unit, their own allies first.
Playing against Vel'Koz
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Watch both branches of his plasma
Get out of the line of Plasma Fission (Q) and watch its sides too: the bolt splits into two branches at 90 degrees when it hits a target or he recasts it.
- Back off before the third stack
Back off after taking two of his spells: at the third Organic Deconstruction (passive) stack, you take a burst of true damage.
- Engage after Tectonic Disruption
If you can engage, go in after Tectonic Disruption (E): it's his only spell to push back someone charging him, and he has no dash to escape.
- Interrupt his ray
If you have a stun, a silence or a knock-up, save it for Life Form Disintegration Ray (R): any of them interrupts the ray.
