Playing as Twisted Fate
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
