How to play

Shield Tank Build specific
  1. The idea of the build is centered around getting frequent shields from Fimbulwinter.
  2. Rush #1 Fimbulwinter, then adapt to an enemy team. If they heavy on AD, go Armor. On AP? Buy MR. You need damage? Well, buy that.
  3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Quinn specific
  1. You can max second Q or W. W for attack speed and auto attacks (i.e. against tanks and you need some BoTRK), otherwise Q.
  2. Do not be shy and do not wait for 'special moment'. You have good engaging and catching tool - E with R movement speed buff!

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Attacking a Vulnerable target marked by Valor will put Harrier on cooldown. Quickly consuming Harrier marks will allow you to generate them faster.
  2. Vault is powerful but must be used with caution, as enemies can attack Quinn when she strikes them. Vault can sometimes be used to cross terrain if your back is to a wall.
  3. Use Behind Enemy Lines for traveling very long distances quickly, for farming minions around the map, or for chasing wounded targets.
