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 Jayce
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Watch for the orb behind his gate
When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.
- Back off when he goes hammer
If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.
- Engage after his Thundering Blow
Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.
- Drag the game out
If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
