How to play

General

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  3. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  4. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  5. Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can dodge a lot of skillshots with Aegis Assault (E). Even global ultimates. Just make sure you are facing the right direction!
  2. Plan combos around empowered abilities (after 5 spells/autos): empowered Shield Vault (W) for auto attack burst, empowered Comet Spear (Q) for execute or poke, empowered Aegis Assault (E) for Armor/MR and being tanky.

Riot

  1. Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.
  2. Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.
  3. If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.
