With a powerful hook, Blitzcrank is one of League's most iconic support champions. Success with Blitzcrank hinges primarily on skillful hook usage and timing.

Key Ability Tips

Q (Rocket Grab):

• 20-second cooldown, costs 100 mana
• Use sparingly and strategically due to high mana cost
• Having hook available creates pressure even without using it
• Focus on high-impact hooks rather than constant attempts

Skill Order Priority

1. Q (Rocket Grab) - Main engage tool
2. W (Overdrive) - Mobility for positioning
3. E (Power Fist) - Lower priority, mainly cooldown reduction

Strategic Tips

• Observe enemy dodge patterns
• Use mind games by faking hooks
• E is an auto-attack reset
• Use R (Static Field) to break enemy shields
• Hook → E combo prevents escape via Flash

Best Matchups

• Immobile enchanters
• Squishy champions
• Teams with multiple shields (utilize R)

Poor Matchups

• Champions with dashes (Ezreal)
• High mobility supports
• Tanks that want to be pulled (Alistar)

Items Starting:

• Steel Shoulderguards
• Health Potions

Core Build:

• Winter's Approach
• Evenshroud
• Dead Man's Plate

Situational:

• Thornmail (vs healing)
• Force of Nature (vs magic damage)
• Knight's Vow (protect carry)

Key Strategy Don't spam hooks - the threat of a hook creates more pressure than missing multiple attempts. Focus on positioning and timing rather than quantity of hooks landed.

Remember to use W for positioning, save E for after hook lands, and time R to break enemy shields for maximum impact.
