Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.
- In team fights start by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down anyone who flees.
- Cougar abilities have no cost associated with them, allowing you to maintain a full stack of Guinsoo's Rageblade for extended periods of time.
