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 Jayce
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Watch for the orb behind his gate
When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.
- Back off when he goes hammer
If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.
- Engage after his Thundering Blow
Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.
- Drag the game out
If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
