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 Sivir
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her blade's return too
Dodge Boomerang Blade (Q), then its return: it damages on the way out and on the way back, and it costs Sivir a lot of mana.
- Pop her shield first
If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first, or fake a step forward: Spell Shield (E) only blocks one ability, and heals her if it blocks.
- Back off when she casts On The Hunt
Back off when she casts On The Hunt (R): her whole nearby team gains move speed to engage on yours.
- Don't let her push alone
Don't leave her alone on a lane for too long: with Ricochet (W), her autos bounce between minions, and your wave, then your tower, fall fast.
