Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Milio's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Fired Up!

  Milio's abilities enchant allies on touch, making their next damage deal a burst of extra damage and burn the target.

  Strong: allies he buffs enchant their next hit with burn and speed. Weak: passive chip — no direct counterplay, just sustain.

• Q
  Ultra Mega Fire Kick

  Kick a ball that knocks back an enemy. The ball launches upward on hit and falls toward the enemy, damaging and slowing enemies in the area upon impact.

  Strong: a knock-back fireball that bounces for AoE. Weak: slow and blockable — juke or hide behind a minion.

• W
  Cozy Campfire

  Create an empowering zone that heals allies and increases attack range to those inside. The zone follows the ally nearest to the cast point.

  Strong: a zone giving RANGE and attack speed to allies. Weak: kill or zone the carry OUT of the cozy campfire.

• E
  Warm Hugs

  Milio tosses a shield to an ally, temporarily increasing their movement speed. This ability has 2 charges.

  Strong: spammable shields with move speed. Weak: small per-cast — sustained DPS chews through them.

• R
  Breath of Life

  Milio unleashes a wave of soothing flames that heal and remove crowd control effects from allies in range.

  Strong: an AoE heal + FULL CC cleanse for allies around him. Weak: one moment — stagger your CC chain and the second wave sticks.

Itemization

Stagger CC around his ult and dive hard — he can't stop you, only patch damage. Anti-heal cuts the warmth.
