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 Kayle
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade early
Take your trades early: at first, her attack range is a melee champion's, and Divine Ascent (passive) only extends it as she levels up.
- Freeze and starve her of levels
Freeze the wave near your tower to keep her off minions: each level empowers her autos through Divine Ascent (passive).
- CC during her R, damage after
During Divine Judgment (R), hold your damage but use any CC you have: the target can't take damage, but can still be slowed or stunned.
- Force early objectives
Force objectives and teamfights early on: Kayle gains power with every level, so every minute of the game plays in her favor.
