Playing as Rumble
Tips to maximize your impact
- Stay in the Danger Zone
Keep your Heat between 50 and 100%: Junkyard Titan (passive) then empowers your spells, but at 100%, overheating locks them for a few seconds.
- Burn them up close
Stay close during Flamespitter (Q): the cone burns your target for 3 seconds, with damage based on their max health.
- Two harpoons to stick to them
Hit your target with both Electro Harpoon (E) shots: the second slows harder and lowers their magic resist further, which helps keep them in your Flamespitter (Q).
- The Equalizer in a chokepoint
Cast The Equalizer (R) in a chokepoint, on an objective or on their escape route: the trail of fire slows everyone who crosses it and burns them every second.
Playing against Anivia
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Sidestep her ice
Dodge Flash Frost (Q) by stepping to the side: without the chill, Frostbite (E) doesn't double its damage.
- Play hard before she hits 6
Push your wave and take trades before she hits level 6: without Glacial Storm (R), she struggles to clear the wave and can't hold an area.
- Drain her mana
Force her to spend her mana: Flash Frost (Q) costs 80 to 100 mana, and Glacial Storm (R) drains some every second.
- Destroy the egg right away
Focus the Rebirth (passive) egg as soon as it appears: if it hatches, she comes back to life at full health.
