TLDR















Helia Lee Sin Runes





















Optional Summoner Spells
Exhaust
Solid choice in most of the games. Helps against assassins, divers and melee overall. It also lowers your healing output as you do not take Heal. Solid choice overall.
Ignite
Offensive option, improves your damage, gives you additional cooldown to use in fights, but reduces your healing output.
Ghost
Improves mobility. You can chase, position and flee better. Reduces your healing output, but makes you more agile in fights.
How it works
- You rush Echoes of Helia.
- You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
- You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell, items and abilities.
- You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.
Playstyle
Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.
Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.
Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.
How to play
Helia Lee Sin
Skill order
- The skill order is flexible and should be adapted based on the game situation.
- In most scenarios, max Safeguard / Iron Will (W) first for shielding and sustain, then prioritize Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q) or Tempest / Cripple (E) second depending on the matchup.
- Max Q when you need more poke and want to go in more frequently, generally for a more dynamic playstyle.
- Max E against lots of melee and for better peeling.
- This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
- Play aggresively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal!
Items
- Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
- Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
- Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.
Buffing your team
- Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
- Bandlepipes is a good new item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
- Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.
Adaptation
- Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
- Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
- If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
- You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
- Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.
Tips and Tricks
Champion
- Lee Sin combo #1: Use Dragon's Rage (R), then Flash immediately into a direction they do not expect (i.e behind them). The destination of your kick is registered at the moment of animation finish, not the start. You can do cool trick and kick enemy into your team, or even spawning pool!
- Lee Sin combo #2: You hit somebody with Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q), but they are too far away to follow up with second Q? Hit enemy champion or minions with Mark (Snowball), or Safeguard to your ally champ or minions, or even Flash!
- Lee Sin combo #3: Dueling with someone? Use Dragon's Rage (R), then when enemy champ is in the air, hit Q for sure hit.
- Lee Sin combo #4: Scaring tactic. Hit somebody with Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q)? Pretend that you follow up, by casting second Q, but in the midair use Safeguard / Iron Will (W) to ally champ or minion. You can even bait some Summoner Spells or other cooldowns!
Riot
- Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.
- Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.
- Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).
