How it works

Healer Build specific
  1. You're a healer, Harry.
  2. You heal/shield with Heal summoner spell, Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer.

How to play

Healer Build specific
  1. Your first rush is Redemption.
  2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs aoe), Moonstone Renewer (sustain).
  3. Also, Echoes of Helia is pretty good because you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (slow/cc).
  4. Rush second Locket if your team already doing teamfights or when an enemy team has champions with super aoe damage (example: like Fiddle's ult). Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2. The third item should be whatever you did not buy - Locket of the Iron Solari or Moonstone Renewer. That's your core.
  5. Another decent item if you have carry/strong bruiser/strong tank is Knight's Vow.
  6. Try to use Redemption on cooldown, when your allies are missing some health. It is best to use when they are grouped. Especially if you already have Moonstone Renewer, it is best to wait (or ping) until they group together, so you can have them all healed.
  7. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown. With Moonstone, ideally there should be at least two people for maximum healing effect.
  8. Remember that you can use Redemption for the damage. However, in general, it is not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
  9. Later in the game, for maximum support - you can sell boots for sixth item.
  10. You can get items like Ardent Censer (some auto attackers needed) or Staff of Flowing Water. It will be triggered often enough that it will be worth.
  11. Interesting item is Cryptbloom. If you want to go full healing, you can get it like #4+ item.
  12. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
  13. Be careful when using Redemption while you are dead, and you are about to be respawned. The camera will go to your position, and you can cast it in the spawning pool by mistake. Watch out for bad timing!
  14. Font of Life total healing is not properly calculated in a post-game lobby. Value is bigger in the game vs. what's displayed in statistics. You heal more!

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.
  2. Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.
  3. The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.
  4. A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.
