Playing as Warwick
Tips to maximize your impact
- Hold your bite
Hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to latch onto your target: you follow all their movement, dashes included, then leap behind them.
- Tank, then fear
Cast Primal Howl (E) in the middle of the fight: you take less damage, then the howl fears nearby enemies. Recast it to fear sooner.
- Leap onto their carry
Cast Infinite Duress (R) on their carry: you suppress the first champion hit and heal for all the damage dealt. Your move speed lengthens the leap.
- Follow the trail of the wounded
Follow the Blood Hunt (W) trails: you sense champions below 50% health and gain speed toward them, three times more below 25%.
Playing against Sett
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Leave the center of his punch
Get out of the center of Haymaker (W): it deals true damage there, and the sides only deal physical damage.
- Keep your distance after Knuckle Down
Keep your distance once Knuckle Down (Q) is used: he has no dash, and it's this spell that speeds him toward you.
- No big trade you can't finish
Don't take a big trade unless you can finish it: Haymaker (W) stores part of the damage he takes as Grit, for a stronger shield and punch.
- Don't group behind your tank
Don't stay grouped behind your tank: The Show Stopper (R) can slam them onto you, and the damage depends on their bonus health.
