Playing as Yone

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Zaahen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his stab's line

    Get out of the line of Dreaded Return (W): the stab damages you, then pulls you toward him for a second hit.

  2. Back off after his first Glaive

    Back off once he has cast The Darkin Glaive (Q): if he recasts the spell, his next auto knocks you into the air.

  3. Avoid the edge of his slice

    Avoid the edge of the Aureate Rush (E) slice: at the tip, you take bonus damage based on your max health.

  4. Plan to kill him twice

    Save spells to finish him a second time: at max Determination stacks, Cultivation of War (passive) can bring him back to life.
