Playing as Zeri
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Miss Fortune
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't stand behind low minions
Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.
- Cut her speed with a small hit
Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.
- Go in if you can
If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).
- Interrupt her Bullet Time
If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
