Playing as Sivir

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit going out and coming back

    Position so Boomerang Blade (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: it damages every enemy it passes through, but less after hitting a minion.

  2. Ricochet right after an auto

    Cast Ricochet (W) right after an auto: it resets your auto immediately, and the next ones bounce to nearby enemies.

  3. Save your shield for their CC

    Save Spell Shield (E) for the stun or root aimed at you: it blocks the next enemy ability, and heals and speeds you up if it blocks.

  4. On The Hunt to engage or escape

    Cast On The Hunt (R) to engage or escape as a group: nearby allies gain move speed, and your autos on champions reduce your cooldowns.

Playing against Varus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off with his Blight on you

    Back off after taking a few autos: each one applies a Blight stack from Blighted Quiver (W), and his spells detonate them for damage based on your max health.

  2. Engage while he charges

    If you can engage, go in while he charges Piercing Arrow (Q): charging slows him, and he has no dash to escape.

  3. Leave his hail of arrows

    Get out of the Hail of Arrows (E) zone fast: the desecrated ground slows you and reduces the healing you receive.

  4. Spread out from the chained ally

    When an ally is caught by Chain of Corruption (R), move away from them fast: the corruption spreads to nearby champions, but dies out if you get far enough in time.
