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 Ekko
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Avoid his third hit
Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.
- Leave his Q field
When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.
- Get out of his sphere
Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.
- Aim where he'll reappear
When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
