Playing as Zaahen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. The Darkin Glaive, then recast

    Cast The Darkin Glaive (Q) for an auto that strikes twice and heals you, then recast the spell: your next auto knocks your target into the air.

  2. Pull them in with your stab

    Cast Dreaded Return (W) at a target out of your range: the stab damages them, then pulls them toward you for a second hit.

  3. Hit with the edge of your slice

    Place Aureate Rush (E) so your target is at the edge of the slice: at the tip, they take bonus damage based on their max health.

  4. Build up your Determination

    Hit champions with your autos and spells: each Determination stack from Cultivation of War (passive) gives you attack damage, and at max stacks, you can revive.

  5. Dive in with your ult

    Cast Grim Deliverance (R) in the middle of a fight: you take less damage as you rise, then your dive heals you based on the damage dealt to champions.

Playing against Anivia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Sidestep her ice

    Dodge Flash Frost (Q) by stepping to the side: without the chill, Frostbite (E) doesn't double its damage.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Push your wave and take trades before she hits level 6: without Glacial Storm (R), she struggles to clear the wave and can't hold an area.

  3. Drain her mana

    Force her to spend her mana: Flash Frost (Q) costs 80 to 100 mana, and Glacial Storm (R) drains some every second.

  4. Destroy the egg right away

    Focus the Rebirth (passive) egg as soon as it appears: if it hatches, she comes back to life at full health.
