  • Use hook mechanics to surprise enemies from unexpected angles
  1. Roaming Strategy
  • Utilize Pyke's mobility to support other lanes
  • Coordinate with jungler for effective ganks
  • Time roams when ADC is safe or backed

These strategies, combined with proper itemization and mechanical practice, will help you maximize Pyke's potential as a support champion.
