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 Ziggs

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Walk around his mines

    Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.

  2. Engage after his Satchel Charge

    If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  3. Get out of the center of his bomb

    If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
