Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Twitch's attack speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
  • Expunge has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
  • You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Playing against

  • Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of invisibility.
  • Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.
  • If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''
