Playing as Tahm Kench

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Three stacks, then your tongue

    Stack An Acquired Taste (passive) three times on your target, then hit them with Tongue Lash (Q): they're stunned, and the stacks are consumed.

  2. Save Thick Skin for a burst

    Only activate Thick Skin (E) to absorb a burst: otherwise, part of the damage it stores comes back to you as health once you stop taking damage.

  3. Engage with your dive

    Engage with Abyssal Dive (W): you reappear at the target location, 1000 to 1200 range away, and hitting a champion reduces its cooldown.

  4. Swallow your carry to save them

    Swallow your carry in danger with Devour (R): they come out with a shield, and you can take them to safety with Abyssal Dive (W).

Playing against Rell

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when she speeds up

    Back off as soon as she speeds up toward you: Full Tilt (E) doubles her move speed toward enemies, and her next auto explodes.

  2. Don't count on a shield

    Don't count on a shield against her: Shattering Strike (Q) breaks all shields and stuns every unit in its line.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she gets into melee range: Magnet Storm (R) violently pulls nearby enemies in, then keeps dragging them toward her.

  4. Move away once she's on foot

    Move away from her once she's on foot: after Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), she's slowed, but gains armor and magic resist.
