If you want to hack lane phase, grab doran's ring to start, go w,q,w,e,w 1-5. Sit back, poke champs and soften waves with w, don't ever trade, and farm stacks with q. Always try to send the w through the casters and a champion if you can manage. If you're landing a lot of W you can toss a dark seal in there to really step on the gas. Or not. The rest of the build is as you would usually go, but this makes lane phase much easier, b/c w has such a long range. You can also go comet, which is a guarnateed hit with w's slow. Optimal is proably fleet footwork though.
More E (flight) tips: --Spear of Shojin's passive instantly procs 4 times on the first hit of E. --Flying through a wall does NOT give vision of enemies in bushes.
i wish there is more content like this it saves alot of time for me searching the reddit and the wiki and testing whenever new champ comes out thank you so much
This also makes lethal tempo a reasonable option on him too depending on the comp he's versing, since he can stack it up with autos and Q and both those benefit from the range extension
its probably not intended, but smolders E will also currently reveal any stealthed target if they are the main target of his E, meaning if lets say a lone teemo was stealthed in a bush, it will reveal him and hit him for some odd reason
I imagine the RFC interaction with Q + AA is similar to the Sundered Sky bug where if you shoot off multiple autos or Q + auto in this case before the first lands the bonus from the item doesn't get removed in time.
One tip I can share (I saw in a video). You can impact your R against an enemy more fast if you use it backwards near the enemy. Bc if you do in the common way, its take longer time to cast and hit the enemy, give them a chance to dodge it. But if you do it backwards, the cast take less at the beginning of the range of the ability and your enemy can't see where it gonna lands before you press it.
While the Q counting as an auto sounds sounds amazing for something like PTA, the best runes to use are arcane comet, manaflow band, absolute focus/transcendence, and scorch with biscuits and free boots and for first item you buy doran's ring then dark seal on first recall, as for abilities you take W > Q > E and put 3 points in W before maxing Q, taking ult when possible The reason for that is: Smolder's earlygame is miserable normally, using that build your poke game becomes pretty insane, you try to hit as many people with W as you can for damage and stacks and once you get 25 stacks for the AOE Q you can W > Q casters to one shot them making getting stacks super easy
The reason why rapid fire q into autoattack both get the extended range is because the q dosent land before smolder autoattack. Rapidfire's passive only goes off only after the attack lands
Im new to the game, learning the champ because he actually looked fun AND fair and not some bullshit halfmap instakill snipe perma stun champ. I always thought i should use my Q and then maybe fit in an autoattack, but it makes sense to do it the other way around. Very helpful video indeed
3:44 incorrect information: play with comet, start with doran ring (buy dark seal before ad to keep adaptive power in early to ap) and put 3 points into W in early. You won't lose any early trade
He is reminng me a lot of Ezreal early to late game,his Q scales on hit his W deals slow which is different E is a doge that has more dmg than Ez,and ult is same but can crit,over all lane phase is same,play safe,use E when not safe,wait ganks or teamfight and benefit off it
It wouldve been funnier if smolder E doesn’t dammage ennemy but last longer the more you have stacks, be kinda of a kayn late game but still 14 sec cooldown ( also i subscribed)
3:33 while his range is definitely low (500, which is the lowest for ranged autoattackers if we don't count urgot and pre-lvl18 gnar (gnar range scales with lvl up to 500)), comparing it to cait's is rather weird since she has the highest range at lvl1 still great video
Very entertaining and concise. The way you humbly asked for a subscribe worked. If more people asked nicely like this, they'd get more subs! Great edited content helps though, hats off to you.
i feel like they might have to buff his E, it does not deal much damage and its only for a really small timeframe. imo either buff the duration or the damage OR make it stack his passive faster, like 1 passive stack per bolt hit or something. Why does his E not proc onhit when kata passive, E and R proc it or akshan E also procs onhit? would be an easy change to make his E more rewarding.
The Q and AA interaction with fire cannon is just like Mf's Q. When u AA u insta lose rapid cannon extra range, literally at the beginning of AA. However for abilities like MF Q and smolder Q u only lose the extra range after the ability hits the target, so have enough room to also do an auto. This is kinda cool, for example, could proc eclipse on a single rapid fire cannon Q + AA combo. This combo is hard tho, not reliable and eclipse is bad on rangeds, but still interesting
why doesn´t kraken slayer work well with him i tested it in practice tool and the extra on-hit dmg works on his q aswell and the stacks for kraken slayer also stack with q. Or what is the problem with it ?
best tip i can give is dont play hp stackers against smolder, had a cho gath game where i had like 15 stacks and around 7k hp and he was doing nearly half my hp in true damage (3k true damage), truly a smolder moment
Hi i stumbled upon this channel ( Sbire Canonnier ) that translated this video in aproximative french using the exact same visuals without crediting you. Is this guy linked with you or is he stealing your work ?
I edit everything, he is my friend that translates everything for me, it’s oke don’t worry. Thanks for looking out for creators that get their content stolen ❤️
@@cannonminion Ok cool ! You guys should put a link to each other in the video's descriptions and in the channel's about/links section. Given how google referencing works it might even improve your algorithm on youtube. Btw tell him that he's the first french people i heard saying "crit" without pronouncing the T, it weirded me out lmao
i think building any crit items on him is absolute dogsh%t right now... any thoughts? crit items suck in general and he also doesnt have much crit or ad scaling in general, they also dont give haste which matters the most because you need to spam your true damage Q or provide utility with W or escape/chase multiple times in a fight with E
This video is inaccurate about Smolders main poke, His q is NOT his main poke. Nor should it be treated as such. Even when going AD smolder, have arcane comet as a keystone, make sure you have mana flow band and scorch, in secondary runes make sure you have presence of mind, start dorans ring and get dark seal as your first back. START W. Your w when it lands will give you your early stacks before 2, and hits like a freight train vs level 1 champions especially with scorch. Aim it to push lane towards level 2 first and aggressively SMACk enemy laner(s). You're welcome.

you get my sub for roasting teemo
Sadly his mom was also impacted by the layoffs.
HAHAHA TOO SOON MAN
I don't understand...What happened at Riot? Did people get layoff?

thank you so much
HIHIHI I APPRECIATE IT
yeah we sure do love clickbait thumbnails
When smolder E times out, or is canceled, inside terrain, and is forced out, it counts as a dash and can be stunned by Taliyah E 8:14
I love that the rapid firecannon tip is in here cause I found this out just playing him the very first time
SHEESH
This also makes lethal tempo a reasonable option on him too depending on the comp he's versing, since he can stack it up with autos and Q and both those benefit from the range extension
I just found our rapid fire also works on mf q i was like if smolder can maybe she can to
its probably not intended, but smolders E will also currently reveal any stealthed target if they are the main target of his E, meaning if lets say a lone teemo was stealthed in a bush, it will reveal him and hit him for some odd reason
Riot will remove it in the next patch for sure!
Eat shit teemo :)
an interesting note for Smolders q is that the fireballs it creates can also proc on-hit effect like grasp, heartsteel and the tiamat items
9:44 Ironic since she got fired. Great video thank you for this.
HAHAHAHA TOO SOON MAN, I appreciate it
Bro the fact that yasuos wall can block a literal dragon breathing fire from _above_ is absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical
I imagine the RFC interaction with Q + AA is similar to the Sundered Sky bug where if you shoot off multiple autos or Q + auto in this case before the first lands the bonus from the item doesn't get removed in time.
What a well edited and narrated video! Keep up the content and you’re going to see a lot of success :))
I really really really appreciate it! 🥺
Yuumis basic attack healing passive works with smolder q and everything it hits. If you hit a good q you heal for 30-60ish early game.
ok :r
This is the first video i saw from you and i instantly subscribed.I love content as this.
No wayyyy that’s so nice of u 🥺

That subscribe prompt was so cool that i actually subscribed for it. It never happened for me before
Thanks a lot!
I did not know items stacked that well on his q, thank you for the tips & tricks
Np, glad you learned smt new!
It's an aoe auto attack that's treated as a spell
how would muramana be treated? would it proc both an auto and an ability dmg?@@decidueyezealot8611
While the Q counting as an auto sounds sounds amazing for something like PTA, the best runes to use are arcane comet, manaflow band, absolute focus/transcendence, and scorch with biscuits and free boots and for first item you buy doran's ring then dark seal on first recall, as for abilities you take W > Q > E and put 3 points in W before maxing Q, taking ult when possible

that was a smooth subscribe transition , damn it you deserve it xD
I appreciate it ❤️
I agree really nice
@@kamdenfinlyfilms HIHI THANKS
+1
I will send this video in post game chat for every feeding Smolder I see
WWWW
3:44 incorrect information: play with comet, start with doran ring (buy dark seal before ad to keep adaptive power in early to ap) and put 3 points into W in early. You won't lose any early trade
Also, You can cast abilities during E, but it will cancel any remaining shots you had left.
The reason the range doesnt disapear on Q is because Q wont remove the RFC stack until it lands.
That's true!
Thank you so much the tutorial
np
You genuinely seem like a really nice guy, subscribed
Mannn thats so nice of u, thanks a lot 🥹
He is reminng me a lot of Ezreal early to late game,his Q scales on hit his W deals slow which is different E is a doge that has more dmg than Ez,and ult is same but can crit,over all lane phase is same,play safe,use E when not safe,wait ganks or teamfight and benefit off it

ohhh that would be so fun indd (i really really really appreciate it)
smolder would be uncatchable 😭
great video. thanks

still great video
smolder is adorable i love him. idk anything about league but good video
very informative and well paced video. excellent job mate
I worked so hard on this video and I am very happy u liked it 🥺
Very entertaining and concise. The way you humbly asked for a subscribe worked. If more people asked nicely like this, they'd get more subs! Great edited content helps though, hats off to you.
Mannnnn that’s so nice of u to say 🥺
love watching the longer vids
I appreciate it
Damn, who would have guessed his E, auto attacking would reveal the bush, like auto attacks
i feel like they might have to buff his E, it does not deal much damage and its only for a really small timeframe. imo either buff the duration or the damage OR make it stack his passive faster, like 1 passive stack per bolt hit or something. Why does his E not proc onhit when kata passive, E and R proc it or akshan E also procs onhit? would be an easy change to make his E more rewarding.
For sure, his E stacking would be too much tho but making it deal more damage or increase duration would be fair
as i realized while playing the champion u get 100% move speed while using ur E only on ur base move speed not bonus move speed
You do such a better job that riot at explaining this
Thank you very much 🥺
Just gonna help everyone who comes here first b4 watching, no u can't do 2 fireballs in one cast you got clickbaited

if your r does off (projectile on the screan) and you die, the r will stop imidiatly and you dont get the cd refund
Love this tips! Apreciate it, Thank you! :)
No thank you for watching it 🥺
great video, thanks for the tips!
I really appreciate it!
Hello, if you press smolder E, you can see talon in his ult, and viego in his smoke. So E ability reveal invisible champions. You did not said that
my favorite smolder mom joke is that the ult is just her q.
Also is E can revelead invisible champions like Shaco or Talon
Thats so weird, that much be a bug that will be fixed right?
Great vid. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!
I got the riot quote first time when taunting and didnt get if for the rest of the game and I thought I was delulu... ty
why doesn´t kraken slayer work well with him i tested it in practice tool and the extra on-hit dmg works on his q aswell and the stacks for kraken slayer also stack with q.
Or what is the problem with it ?
Because it doesn’t apply the kraken passive on all the targets hit, only the main one, that’s where I was going at
No way awsome video nice edit real
W
Thank you so much for this it helped me a lot
Thank you so much for watching the video
Smolder isn't weak in lane. People just play him wrong.
Run Comet, max W and start Doran Ring + Dark Seal on first back
Doesn’t his E reveal champions stealth like talon R I saw it on a Doublelift video
Smolder E gets stopped when hit by Trundle Pillar or Anivia Wall.
I think 3:00 is the most important part of the video.
6:52 is also very important.
"my mom works for riot"
not anymore smolder... not anymore
"My mom works for riot and shes gonna ban you" that voice line hurts after they just laid off smolder's designer lol
best tip i can give is dont play hp stackers against smolder, had a cho gath game where i had like 15 stacks and around 7k hp and he was doing nearly half my hp in true damage (3k true damage), truly a smolder moment
4:22 bless you
HAHAHA, I was confused like wait what did I sneeze in this video. I did indd xD
Thanks for the video; But, man, what Teemo did with you?
Everyone hates teemo bro…
Sorry, I love him.
"my mom works for Riot"
- jokes on you little pal, your momma axed by higher ups
TOO SOON MAN HAHAH
Problem. Q, is NOT his main poke ability.
It now is. 25 Mana, way less cooldown, point and click.
A very goed video for a new main👌👌🔥
Thanks!
Does hydra items work for stacks?
R getting counterd by yasuos wall is crazy
Can i ask is terminus good for him. Since when u get enough stacks your abilities will deal magic damage??
No, he is not an auto attacker. Think of him more like Ezreal. You neither want attack speed nore magic pen. He only dies around 10-15 % magic damage.
@@XTr3m3b4shterminus gives plenty of magic and armor pen
Does the E actually deal good damage with Muramana? I assume it would apply the spell on-hit on every projectile, but I don't see anyone building it.
It doesn't apply the spell on hit on every projectile sadly
@@cannonminion oh damn. Does it apply both the AA on hit and the spell on hit for the Q or is the item recommendation a complete bait?
As a teemo main 😂 smolder is prey
This is war!

Btw tell him that he's the first french people i heard saying "crit" without pronouncing the T, it weirded me out lmao
A good tip is to just not build essence reaver and his early game damage is fine
My new trolling passion is Smolder support. Thnaks for the tips.
i need to know the best items and runes videos pls
Man there are so many inconsistencies with Riot's logic
Frrrr
Yeah... after the changes on Smolder playstyle with comet this video already needs a revamp!
i think building any crit items on him is absolute dogsh%t right now... any thoughts?
crit items suck in general and he also doesnt have much crit or ad scaling in general, they also dont give haste which matters the most because you need to spam your true damage Q or provide utility with W or escape/chase multiple times in a fight with E
you got everything right except the build man
his E crit ratio is completely irrelevant as E does 0 damage anyways and also the 30% crit scale on his Q isnt that impressive either
Uhm, both Essence Reaver and Navori give crit and haste... Literally all he wants.
Unfortunately Smolder's mom was let go from riot in the recent layoffs.
The 1% voice line is the second reason why I got smolder. The first reason is because cute cowboy girl accent durgun
Where Q interaction with tiamat and especially with titanic hydra. On evolved q this shit is boosted
For a 1% chance im getting this line pretty often lol
What really???
Tells me I can unsubscribe later now I got to sub lol, well played sir
Just being honest here, I appreciate it
In 1 game I heard that taunt 10 times in rew maybe I broke league dk
Hurricane navori here we go
Gettoing Outranged by Caitlyn like every other adc what is he saying xD
Caitlyn has the biggest range so its mega noticeable with her thats all xD
nice vid bro, but soorry, i sub if i watch a few vids and i keep liking it

where the fuck is the 2 fireballs in the thumbnail
It was in the video, trust
Your guide is already outdated. With Arcane comet and W max he's a very strong laner and has insane poke in lane. Q max is a bait.
I legit made this video in the pbe so some things might be outdated indd, but 90% of the video is fine
yasuo blocking his whole ult actually makes 0 sense
Your voice sounds like homer simpson
thumbnail is clickbait nothing in the video about double fireballing
That is true 👍
tbh he feel weak
he does
BUT MEEEEEM
lets just play him as ap support?
I cringed so hard at the voice line no wonder the designer got fired
HAHAHAHA CHILLLL
Truth i was kinda kidding ( lowkey sad he got fired ) it is what it is @@cannonminion
