A little bit about me
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
I love competitive games and have yet to find anything for me that compares to League.
Aside from League, I am a happily married man, father of 2 kids and I am a beloved pet owner. If you guys have any questions about my guides, champions or really anything in general, feel free to stop by my stream!

ACTIVE: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A field lingers around the detonation for 1.5 seconds, slowing enemies by 50%, after which it explodes, dealing magic damage to all enemies inside. |
Spell Shield will block the initial impact.
- During laning phase, you want to use
Mantra on
Inner Flame for more damage and presence. Try to avoid minions as this will push the wave.
- As of 9.19
Inner Flame has been considerably nerfed, from 60% AP ratio to 40%, removing a lot of her damage potential.

- If you are at risk of dying, and need to save yourself - you can always use your
Mantra on
Renewal for the large amount of healing it does initially, and when it ends.
- During lane, you want to
Inspire yourself before, or during,
Focused Resolve, giving yourself bonus movement speed, so not to break the tether.

- During teamfights, you're most likely wanting to be casting
Mantra on
Inspire for the aoe shielding and MS.
- Try to cast the shield on the highest priority target, as the aoe shields are not as strong as the initial one.
- Take advantage of the bonus movement speed
Inspire provides, to catch a fleeing enemy, or to help escape.
- You can turn the tides of battle in your favor with
Defiance, as well as procing
Ardent Censer,
Summon Aery and adding a heal with
Athene's Unholy Grail.
