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 Leona

  • When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.
  • Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
