How it works

General

  1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
  2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
  3. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell, items and abilities.
  4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

Playstyle

  1. ⚔️ Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.
  2. 💥 Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.
  3. 🛡️ Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.

How to play

General

  1. Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
  3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

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!
  5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Champion

  1. You are not gonna be super tanky with this build. Stand back and peel for your carries. You are walking CC machine and you provide utility in fights (CC, slow, disruption).
    • Sometimes you can engage for your team with Ixtal's Impact (E) or Impale (R).
    • If needed, you can do Flash + R combo and drag victims into your team.
    • Remember that you are squishy!
  2. You can peel for your carries really good with Ixtal's Impact (E) and Impale (R).

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. If you are not playing 'going-in' build like Tank or Bruiser, save Ixtal's Impact (E) for escaping! You can play aggressive, then use it to run away to safety.

Riot

  1. Basic attacks apply Quaking. Stick to your target and re-apply it for maximum damage.
  2. Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
