How it works

  1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate and slowing your enemies.
  2. You support your team through disrupting fights, slowing enemies, providing healing/buffs, and soaking damage.

Playstyle

  1. ❄️

    Disrupt fights with slows and CC.

  2. 🎯

    Proc Imperial Mandate and support your allies.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt to the game and get items to counter enemy team.

How to play

  1. You rush Imperial Mandate as your only mandatory item.
  2. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.

How Imperial Mandate works

  1. Imperial Mandate requires your TEAM to proc it for damage. Try coordinating it with your allies - mark targets when they're about to get poked or when your team goes in.

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 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

Champion

  1. You can Body Slam (E), then Flash to do cool combo and catch unsuspecting enemies!
  2. You can Body Slam (E), then Flash forward, backward or even sideways, and you will still hit the enemy at the end of animation.

Riot

  1. The damage reduction from Drunken Rage is applied when you start drinking, try to use it when you see damage coming your way.
  2. Try to knock enemies back into your towers with Explosive Cask.
  3. Try to combo Body Slam with Explosive Cask to set up kills for your team.
