Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.
- While casting Locus of Power you can begin lining up your next spell.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter will make landing Arcanopulse after Mage Chains easier as the target will be slowed.
