How to Use Azzen'Ka's Skills Effectively

  • When your skills hit the same enemy hero 3 times, that hero gets petrified (petrify is a hard crowd control like a stun that leaves the enemy unable to move), so watch the counter above the enemy’s head to prepare to burst them down or retreat once it’s about to reach 3.
  • The stacking damage from this passive has been slightly reduced, so the burst right after a successful petrify isn’t as strong as before — combine it with items or allies to make up for the damage needed to secure the kill.
  • This is a long-range skillshot, so use it to clear minions from a distance, check bushes, contest objectives, and poke the enemy.
  • You can use it right on your own position to freeze yourself in place like Arctic Orb Arctic Orb to escape danger.
  • This stone hand acts like terrain — it can’t be walked through and can block the enemy’s path.
  • Use it as a bounce point for Skill 2 Dust Devil Dust Devil to ricochet off.
  • Skill 1’s cooldown has been increased, so think carefully about when to use it for clearing minions versus self-protection — avoid wasting it, since the longer cooldown directly affects your ability to keep crowd-controlling and protecting yourself.
  • This is Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka ‘s main source of damage, so max it out first.
  • This skill can’t be used without a target, so a trick is to spam it near bushes so that if an enemy hero is hiding and jumps out, it lands on them immediately.
  • This skill bounces from one target to another, so take advantage of throwing it into minions to have it bounce onto enemy heroes.
  • Skill 3 is very strong in full team fights, so save it if you’re about to fight.
  • Use its knockback effect to protect yourself and your allies when the enemy closes in.
  • This skill deals large damage over time with a wide effective area and a very long duration (6s) at the end point, so use it to split up, corner the enemy formation, and contest objectives.
  • It also grants passive Sand Trap Sand Trap stacks to stun the target, combining well with Skill 1 Sand Punch Sand Punch .
  • Its downside is a fairly slow cast time, so plan carefully for where the enemy team will be moving.

How to Combo Azzen'Ka

Basic Combo

  • Sand Wraith 3
  • Sand Punch 1
  • Dust Devil 2
  • Basic Attack

Open the fight with Skill 3 Sand Wraith Sand Wraith toward the biggest enemy cluster: the Divine Claw knocks back everyone in its path, and the quicksand zone at its end keeps damaging and slowing them. While they are slowed, place Skill 1 Sand Punch Sand Punch right where they stand to launch the whole group airborne and keep them slowed. Then throw Skill 2 Dust Devil Dust Devil so the Sandstone bounces between enemies standing close together, and weave in basic attacks, since every hit applies Desertification from the passive Sand Trap Sand Trap and makes the target take bonus magic damage. When playing support or when someone dives you, hold Skill 3 to knock assassins away from your marksman, and if you get caught alone, cast Skill 1 under your own feet to become invincible for 3 seconds.

Alternative Combo

  • Dust Devil 2
  • Sand Punch 1
  • Sand Wraith 3
  • Dust Devil 2

Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka ‘s basic combo is Skill 2 Dust Devil Dust Devil + Skill 1 Sand Punch Sand Punch + Skill 3 Sand Wraith Sand Wraith + Skill 2 Dust Devil Dust Devil .

How to Play Azzen'Ka in the Early Game

In the early game, Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka is fairly weak, so focus on farming minions or supporting your marksman, and control your lane well to earn gold for your build.

While laning, hold a backward position and use your long-range skills to clear minions and poke enemy heroes — don’t try to push too far since Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka ‘s health is fairly paper-thin and he can easily end up on the kill feed if ganked.

How to Play Azzen'Ka in the Mid Game

By the mid game, Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka becomes much more annoying once he has all 3 skills and a few essential items.

This hero’s kit is strongest in large team fights, so keep rotating to lanes where fights are happening, or organize to secure major objectives to gain an early advantage for your team.

How to Play Azzen'Ka in the Late Game

The late game is a time of full team fights, so Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka is still very strong in this phase.

Remember to keep a safe position while fighting since Azzen'Ka Azzen'Ka ‘s health is very paper-thin — it’s best to stand near your marksman or main damage dealer so the knockback effect from Skill 3 Sand Wraith Sand Wraith can protect both of you when attacked.

Aim Skill 3 Sand Wraith Sand Wraith toward the densest cluster of enemy heroes to break their formation, then spam your remaining skills as much as possible.
