Gameplay
How to Play Miss Fortune
01
Early Game
Q Bounce Poke
- Q bounce through dying minions crits the champion behind. Master this for free poke.
- W MS lets you dodge skillshots and reposition. It breaks on damage — don't get hit.
- Love Tap: alternate targets between autos for bonus damage on each hit.
- Your level 1-3 trading is strong. Auto → Q bounce chunks hard.
- E slow sets up support CC and your own R.
02
Mid Game
R Teamfights
- R behind Malphite/Amumu engage = teamfight won. The combo is devastating.
- E → R is your standard combo. E slows them in the R cone.
- Position to channel R through the maximum number of enemies.
- R channels for 3 seconds. You're immobile during it — don't R in the open.
- Lethality R waves deal 200+ damage EACH. 14 waves total.
03
Late Game
AoE Annihilation
- R deals 3000-5000 total damage in a cone. It deletes entire teams.
- Position behind your frontline. Wait for engage, then R.
- Dark Harvest procs on each enemy hit below 50% HP. Multi-DH proc R is devastating.
- Q bounce crits for 800+ at full build. Poke before R.
- If R is down, you're a mediocre auto-attacker. Play around R cooldown.
