Draven's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

League of Draven (P)

Draven gains his fans' Adoration when he catches a Spinning Axe or kills a minion, monster, or tower. Killing enemy champions grants Draven bonus gold based on how much Adoration he has.

Playing as Zeri

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim every Burst Fire

    Aim each Burst Fire (Q): it's your main attack, reaching 700 range and hitting the first enemy in its line.

  2. Fire your laser at a wall

    Aim Ultrashock Laser (W) at a wall: the pulse becomes an area laser that slows and critically strikes champions.

  3. Vault over walls

    Aim Spark Surge (E) at a wall: you vault over it, much farther than with the dash alone, and your Burst Fire pierces for a few seconds afterward.

  4. Hit a champion, then back off

    Cast Lightning Crash (R) near a champion: hitting them gives you attack speed and move speed, and each hit on a champion extends the effect. Attack while backing off.

Playing against Draven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard when he drops an axe

    Play hard when he drops a Spinning Axe (Q): without it, he loses his bonus damage and the Blood Rush (W) reset.

  2. Aim where his axe lands

    If you have skillshots, aim where his Spinning Axe (Q) falls: he has to go there to catch it.

  3. Engage after his Stand Aside

    If you can engage, wait until Stand Aside (E) is used: it's his only spell to push you back, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.

  4. Don't give him kills

    Don't hand him kills: with League of Draven (passive), each champion he kills gives him bonus gold based on his stored Adoration.

  5. Beware his axes at low health

    At low health, beware of Whirling Death (R), which crosses the map: it executes a champion below a threshold that grows with his Adoration.
