How it works

  3. 🧰

How to play

Imperial Mandate Draven

Imperial Mandate

  1. Stand Aside (E) is your key ability - it both slows and knocks up enemies, which immobilizes them and procs Imperial Mandate, making them Vulnerable so you and your team deal more damage to them.
  2. Imperial Mandate also grants additional Ability Haste on Stand Aside (E), lowering its cooldown so you can throw it more often.

Stand Aside
Stand Aside (E)

  1. Since Imperial Mandate is about disruption and not raw damage, it is fine to let Spinning Axe (Q) axes drop - focus on positioning well and landing Stand Aside (E).

Core

  1. Your core item is Imperial Mandate, which grants Ability Haste to your immobilizing abilities and marks immobilized targets Vulnerable, so they receive more damage from you and your team.

Runes

  1. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment and Imperial Mandate, slowing the area and making targets Vulnerable.

How Imperial Mandate works

  1. Imperial Mandate grants additional Ability Haste to your immobilizing abilities. Immobilizing an enemy marks them as Vulnerable, causing them to take increased damage from all sources, from you and your team.

Buffing your team

  1. Font of Life heal triggers various support items like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  2. If your team needs sustain, you can even get Diadem of Songs.
  3. If your team has auto attackers, get Ardent Censer. Your Font of Life will buff them constantly.
  4. Bandlepipes is excellent - gives MS and buffs allies' attack speed when you CC/slow enemies.
  5. Staff of Flowing Water is a good item if you have lots of AP scaling champions on the team.

Adaptation

  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR items like Kaenic Rookern or Spirit Visage.
  2. Enemy team heavy on AD? Buy Armor items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen.
  3. Your team lacks damage? You can buy damage items - Liandry's Torment or Blackfire Torch work well.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.
  2. If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.
