Blitzcrank lore:

Blitzcrank is an enormous, near-indestructible automaton from Zaun, originally built to dispose of hazardous waste. However, he found this primary purpose too restricting, and modified his own form to better serve the fragile people of the Sump. Blitzcrank selflessly uses his strength and durability to protect others, extending a helpful metal fist or burst of energy to subdue any troublemakers.

Blitzcrank tips:

  • The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
  • Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

Playing Against Blitzcrank

  • Blitzcrank's passive Mana Barrier grants him a shield when he is low on health.
  • Staying behind creeps can prevent you from being Rocket Grabbed. Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab only pulls the first enemy target it encounters.
