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 don't even need Support abilities. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell and items.
  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.

Damage

  1. Even though you are not building damage, you still have plenty!
    • You deal on-hit damage with your Eternal Hunger (Passive).
    • Your Jaws of the Beast (Q) deals target's maximum health.
    • You get tons Attack Speed thanks to Blood Hunt (W).

Peel

  1. You can be a pretty good peeler. Enemy going after your carry? Stay close to your allies and fear them with Primal Howl (E).
  2. You can keep Infinite Duress (R) to protect your carry.

Tips and Tricks

Sustain

  1. You heal from your Eternal Hunger (Passive) (while below 50% of maximum health) as well as with Jaws of the Beast (Q). Use it for sustain and while low.
  2. If you are not planning on going in or peeling, you can use Primal Howl (E) damage reduction to reduce poke damage.

Jaws of the Beast (Q)

  1. You can hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to stick to your target. During that, you get displacement immunity and you can follow them through dashes, blinks, Flashes and portals!
  2. You can use Jaws of the Beast (Q) to close the gap between you and your target. Just Q minion, hold it and you will leap behind.
  3. You can use Jaws of the Beast (Q) to escape - use it on minion or target further down to escape.
  4. You appear behind your target if you hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) fully. Hold only halfway to stay next to them instead.
  5. Spam Jaws of the Beast (Q) even if you are about to die - it has a slight delay and can sometimes still trigger mid-death animation for a 1-for-1 trade.

Blood Hunt (W)

  1. Press Blood Hunt (W) before a fight to gain bonus attack speed against the first enemy in range, regardless of their HP.
  2. You can use Blood Hunt (W) to detect enemies hiding in the bush or even invisible ones that try to sneak on you, your team or your Nexus!
  3. Your team can't see your blood trail, so ping enemies to inform your team.

Primal Howl (E)

  1. Press Primal Howl (E) in the middle of a fight and let it run out automatically unless you want to fear a key target.
  2. Use Primal Howl (E) right before enemy crowd control hits to reduce incoming damage - it will still fear enemies even if you are CC’d.
  3. Release Primal Howl (E) early to fear enemies into your team or to cancel someone’s escape.

Infinite Duress (R)

  1. You can keep and use Infinite Duress (R) for escape.
  2. R gives you crowd control immunity during leap.
  3. R leap distance scales with your movement speed.
  4. After landing Infinite Duress (R), all enemies around your target are automatically feared if Primal Howl (E) is active.
  5. Hover over the ulted target and hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) - when Infinite Duress (R) ends, you’ll follow any flash or dash the enemy makes.

Warwick combos

  1. Primal Howl (E) + Infinite Duress (R) Combo - land R while E is active to fear surrounding enemies and reduce incoming damage.
  2. Main combo: Blood Hunt (W) + Primal Howl (E) + optionally Flash + hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) + Primal Howl (E) + Infinite Duress (R) - locks target in CC for 2.5s and guarantees your R hit.

Riot

  1. Follow your Blood Hunt trails to low health enemy champions.
  2. Infinite Duress (R)'s distance scales with any Move Speed you gain, even from ally buffs and summoner spells.
  3. Jaws of the Beast (Q) will follow enemies who run, dash or teleport if you keep the button held down.
