How to play

General

  1. You build Lethality and wait for a moment to strike enemy squishes.
  2. Snowball / Mark is a crucial cooldown for playing this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  3. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  1. Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.
  2. Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.
  3. Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).
