How Apollo beats Paige
Your game plan as Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
Lane
Poke with Disengaging Sigil and use its leap to dodge trades. Save Riposte for a predictable incoming ability.
Mid game
Flank fights and look for heroes who blow their cooldowns early; Flawless Advance chains lunges into a kill.
Late game
Itani Lo Sahn is a long-range lockdown that also stops healing. Use it on the enemy carry or healer to open the fight.
How to beat Paige
A bookish support who shields her carry and floods the city with knights.
- 01Break the Plot Armor barrier before the target’s damage matters.
- 02Step out of Captivating Read’s area before it detonates.
- 03Dive her; she has little self-defence.
