Playing as Zaahen
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Urgot
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't circle around him
Don't move around him during a trade: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing his target, and each leg has its own cooldown.
- Trade after his Disdain
Take a trade when Disdain (E) is on cooldown: it's his only dash, the one that stuns the first champion hit and throws them behind him.
- Stay above 25% health under his ult
If Fear Beyond Death (R) impales you, back off and stay above 25% of your max health until the effect ends: below that, he can drag you in and execute you.
- Back off during his Purge
Back off when he activates Purge (W): he deals and absorbs a lot with his chain gun, but moves slower during the effect.
