Playing as Twitch

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Approach camouflaged

    Approach camouflaged with Ambush (Q), then start the fight: when you leave camouflage, you gain bonus attack speed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Ezreal

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.

  2. All-in after his E

    Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.

  3. Fight head-on

    Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.

  4. Beware his R at low health

    At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
