Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Solid choice in most of the games. Helps against assassins, divers and melee overall. It also lowers your healing output as you do not take Heal. Solid choice overall.

Ignite

Ignite

Offensive option, improves your damage, gives you additional cooldown to use in fights, but reduces your healing output.

Ghost

Ghost

Improves mobility. You can chase, position and flee better. Reduces your healing output, but makes you more agile in fights.

How it works

  1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
  2. You play aggressively, dealing damage to get Echoes of Helia stacks and spend them as soon as you can.
  3. More damage means more Helia procs, which means more healing. Raw damage items outperform heal and shield power support items.

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

Helia Yorick

  1. Skill order:
    • For maximum utility, max W first, then E, then Q.
    • For more damage (from afar), max E, then Q, then W last.
    • For more damage (if you can reliably go into melee range), max Q, then E, then W last.
  2. You can knock enemies aside with your Dark Procession (W) if you use it correctly. It triggers Font of Life or even Yasuo can R off it!
  3. You can use W to stop/slow enemy pushes. And you can use W to help taking turrets (turret will focus it).
  4. You can catch people with your Dark Procession (W). If you are maxing it, it will take a few auto attacks to get destroyed.
  5. You can be a fantastic peeler. Enemies going after your carry? Use Dark Procession (W) and Mourning Mist (E) to help them out! And some Eulogy of the Isles (R) and Last Rites (Q) with ghouls to damage them.
  1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion with mana - even those without healing or shielding abilities! All thanks to Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo.
  2. With Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo, you can continuously heal your team while dealing damage.
  3. Play aggressively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal! More damage = more Helia stacks = more healing.

Core items

  1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and try stacking it ASAP. Get Echoes of Helia #1, then Diadem of Songs #2.
  2. Core order: Echoes of Helia -> Diadem of Songs -> Liandry's Torment. If you are stacking Tear very slowly, get Liandry's before Diadem.
  3. Heal and shield power items and traditional support items are less effective than raw damage - you literally heal more with Helia by dealing damage.

Buffing your team

  1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
  2. Bandlepipes is a good item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
  3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.

Damage items

  1. Once you have your core items, look for Ability Haste and for raw damage.

Runes

  1. Alternatively you can take Summon Aery rune. On enchanters, Aery's shield directly procs Helia. On non-enchanters, it contributes to damage output to stack Helia faster.

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.
  3. If you cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!).
  4. Remember to counter the enemy team. If they have lots of healing, get Executioner's Calling early.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Your Dark Procession (W) knocks aside, applying CC briefly if you hit enemy directly with it. You can even use to interrupt enemy abilities!

Riot

  1. You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.
  2. The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.
  3. You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.
