Optional Summoner Spells

Heal summoner spell

Heal

OK option. You can take it if you want to have another cooldown to press and more healing output.

Ignite summoner spell

Ignite

Offensive option, improves your damage, gives you additional cooldown to use in fights, but reduces your healing output.

Ghost summoner spell

Ghost

Improves mobility. You can chase, position and flee better. Reduces your healing output, but makes you more agile in fights.

How to play

General

Starter items

  1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and Bandleglass Mirror. Rush Moonstone first, then get Diadem of Songs second. Then adapt.
  2. Keep stacking your Tear! The sooner you get it, the sooner you can start healing your team and providing additional sustain.

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!

Countering

  1. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Buffing your team

  1. If your team has a lot of AP scaling champs, you can get Staff of the Flowing Water.
  2. If your team has a lot of auto attackers AND/OR melee champs, get Ardent Censer.
  3. If your team has a lot of auto attacks, you can also get Bandlepipes to increase their attack speed.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.
  2. Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
  3. Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.
