Playing as Renata Glasc

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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%.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
