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 Wukong
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his W
Trade after Warrior Trickster (W): it's his best escape, and it has a 22 to 18 second cooldown.
- Ignore the still clone
When Warrior Trickster (W) turns him invisible, ignore the figure standing still: that's the clone, and the real Wukong just dashed off to the side.
- Spread out from your allies
When he has Cyclone (R), spread out from your allies: he spins in the middle of your team and knocks every nearby enemy into the air, twice.
- Escape after his second Cyclone
If you have a way to escape, wait for his second Cyclone (R) to end: the spell can be recast once, and each spin knocks nearby enemies into the air again.
