Playing as Yone
Tips to maximize your impact
- Charge Mortal Steel on minions
Hit twice with Mortal Steel (Q), minions included, to charge the next one: it makes you dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.
- Cleave several champions at once
Cast Spirit Cleave (W) on several champions at once: it deals damage based on their max health, and your shield grows with the number of champions hit.
- Engage in spirit form
Cast Soul Unbound (E) to engage: when it ends, you snap back to the body you left behind, and part of the damage you dealt to champions is repeated.
- Line them up for your ult
Cast Fate Sealed (R) through several enemies: everyone in the line is hit and knocked into the air toward you, and you reappear behind the last champion hit.
Playing against Annie
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off when her stun is ready
Back off when Pyromania (passive) is ready: after 4 spells, her next offensive spell stuns you. She has it ready at the start and every time she respawns.
- Poke her from outside her range
If your range is longer than hers, poke her from outside it: her autos and Disintegrate (Q) reach 625, Incinerate (W) 600.
- Respect her level 6
Once she hits level 6, stay well outside her range when her stun is ready: with Flash, Summon: Tibbers (R) can land on you from much farther away.
- Play hard once Tibbers is gone
Take the teamfight once Tibbers has been cast and is gone, because Summon: Tibbers (R) has a 130 to 100 second cooldown and is her biggest source of damage.
