Playing As Lee Sin

  • -Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.
  • -Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.
  • -Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Playing Against Lee Sin

  • -Stay spread out to minimize the impact of Lee Sin's ultimate, Dragon's Rage.
  • -Lee Sin has powerful tools to combat physical damage in Iron Will and Cripple but he is still vulnerable to magic damage.
  • -Lee Sin relies heavily on following up with his abilities. Use disables to prevent him from chaining together his abilities and attacks.
