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 Yunara
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her prayer bead
Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.
- Engage outside her Transcendent State
If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).
- Spread out while her Q is active
When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
