Playing as Twitch
Tips to maximize your impact
- Approach camouflaged
Approach camouflaged with Ambush (Q), then start the fight: when you leave camouflage, you gain bonus attack speed.
- Catch up with Venom Cask
Throw Venom Cask (W) at an enemy fleeing out of your range: the cloud slows them and adds a Deadly Venom (passive) stack every second.
- Poison before you contaminate
Apply as many Deadly Venom (passive) stacks as you can before Contaminate (E): each stack adds damage, and the spell hits every poisoned enemy within 1200 range.
- Shoot through their frontline
During Spray and Pray (R), stay back and aim at their carries through the frontline: your bolts pierce every enemy, with less damage after the first.
- Camouflage again after a kill
When a champion dies poisoned by Deadly Venom (passive), Ambush (Q) comes back right away: recast it to reposition in the middle of the teamfight.
Playing against Corki
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't count on your minions
Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.
- Leave his Gatling cone
Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.
- Avoid brushes hit by his bomb
Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.
- Engage after his dash
If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
