Playing as Zilean

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Double bomb to stun

    Place Time Bomb (Q), reset it with Rewind (W), then place the second one on the same target: the first explodes instantly and stuns enemies around it.

  2. Speed up an ally or slow an enemy

    Cast Time Warp (E) on the ally who needs to catch up or escape, or on the enemy to slow: the same spell does both.

  3. Place your ult just before they die

    Place Chronoshift (R) on your carry right before they die: too early and the enemy switches targets, and if they die with the rune, they revive after a stasis.

  4. Give your XP at the right time

    Give the Time In A Bottle (passive) experience to an ally who is close to leveling up: you receive as much as you give.

Playing against Rell

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when she speeds up

    Back off as soon as she speeds up toward you: Full Tilt (E) doubles her move speed toward enemies, and her next auto explodes.

  2. Don't count on a shield

    Don't count on a shield against her: Shattering Strike (Q) breaks all shields and stuns every unit in its line.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when she gets into melee range: Magnet Storm (R) violently pulls nearby enemies in, then keeps dragging them toward her.

  4. Move away once she's on foot

    Move away from her once she's on foot: after Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), she's slowed, but gains armor and magic resist.
