Guide & Strategy Breakdown

Playmaker Lee Sin. The ward-hop is the whole champion, so carry wards and treat Safeguard as your real ultimate.

Playmaker Lee Sin. The ward-hop is the whole champion, so carry wards and treat Safeguard as your real ultimate.

How it plays

A highly mobile early-game playmaker - and the Sightstone in the core is not a typo, it is the build. Safeguard to a ward is Lee Sin's real ultimate; carrying four of them means the ward-hop is always available.

What to buy

  • Spirit of the Ancient Golem for a healthy clear and the tenacity that keeps a diving Lee Sin out of the crowd-control chain.
  • Mercury's Treads for the same reason twice.
  • Ruby Sightstone turns every gank, escape and insec into a geometry problem you already own the answer to.
  • The Black Cleaver is the bruiser half: attack damage for Sonic Wave and Dragon's Rage, cooldown reduction for more of both, health to spend on the dives.

Situational Options

  • Randuin's Omen into autoattack carries.
  • Spirit Visage to amplify Iron Will's lifesteal and Safeguard's shield.
  • Runic Bulwark when the team needs the aura and nobody else will.
  • Guardian Angel when you are the only engage and they know it.

Summoners and skill order

  • Flash and Smite (or Ignite / Exhaust).
  • Max core damage ability first, secondary utility second.

New to the champion?

Combos worth drilling

  • Sonic Wave Execute: Land Q (Sonic Wave) -> Q (Resonating Strike) kick -> auto -> Tempest (E) slow.
  • Insec Kick: Q to target -> Safeguard (W) to Sight Ward placed behind target -> R (Dragon's Rage) kick target into your team.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Don't reactivate Q Resonating Strike blindly: If enemy is under tower or surrounded by 5 champions, flying in with 2nd Q will get you killed.
  • Don't waste Energy: Flurry passive grants attack speed and restores Energy on basic attacks. Auto-attack twice between spell casts.

Playing it out

Strongest levels 2 through 9 in the whole jungle: spend them forcing ganks and invades before scaling junglers exist. The signature play is the reason to pick him - ward over the wall, Safeguard to it, Dragon's Rage the carry back into your team. Energy punishes greed: two full rotations is the budget for any fight, so make the second one the kick. Late game you are a ward-hopping initiation bot with a Cleaver; play the map, not the duel.

  • Additional Options: Hunter's Machete
