Playing as Twisted Fate

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pick the right card

    Lock in the card you need with Pick a Card (W): the Gold Card stuns, the Red Card slows in an area and helps clear the wave, the Blue Card restores mana.

  2. Stun, then throw Wild Cards

    Land the Gold Card from Pick a Card (W) before Wild Cards (Q): stunned for 1 to 2 seconds depending on rank, the target can't dodge your cards.

  3. Push, then roam with your ult

    Push your wave, then cast Destiny (R): you see every enemy champion, and the recast teleports you up to 5500 range away to gank another lane.

Playing against Azir

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from his soldiers

    Stay out of range of his soldiers, not just of him: each Arise! (W) soldier attacks nearby enemies in his place.

  2. Play hard before he hits 6

    Play hard before he hits level 6: without Emperor's Divide (R), he can't knock you back, and Shifting Sands (E), his only dash, has a 22 to 16 second cooldown.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Emperor's Divide (R), spread out from your allies: the soldier wall knocks back every enemy across its width, then blocks the way.
