How to beat Locke

Common role: Mid / Jungle

An ashen exorcist whose on-hit magic executes and seals souls.

What makes Locke dangerous

Locke's attacks burn bonus magic damage scaling with your MISSING health, he marks with soul nails and consumes the marks for burst, ignites his own soul for attack/move speed (healing back after), teleport-dashes onto targets, and his ultimate can EXECUTE — growing stronger for each champion sealed.

How to play against Locke

• 1Don't fight him at low HP — his whole kit scales on your missing health.
• 2His W burns his own health — punish the self-damage window before the heal-back.
• 3Back off when marked by nails — the consume burst is the kill setup.
• 4His E teleport has a readable wind-up — CC the arrival point.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Execute-oriented: healthy targets blunt his whole kit.
• ✓W self-damage is a real window if you interrupt the payoff.
• ✓Squishy assassin stats under focus.
• ✓Snowball-dependent seals — deny kills and the ult stays weak.

Abilities & how to counter them

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

• P
  シルバー・ステイク

  通常攻撃は命中時に追加魔法ダメージを与える。このダメージは対象の減少体力に応じて増加する。

  Strong: on-hit magic that grows with your MISSING health. Weak: healthy targets blunt it — sustain hard, fight full.

• Q
  リチュアル・ネイル

  「魂の釘」を構えて投げ、命中した敵にダメージを与えてマークを付与する。マークを消費して、通常攻撃で追加ダメージを与えられる。

  Strong: nail volleys mark you; consumed marks fuel burst attacks. Weak: back off while marked — the consume window expires.

• W
  ソウル・イグニッション

  魂を燃やし、攻撃速度と移動速度を増加させ、自身にダメージを与える。効果時間終了時、効果中に受けたダメージの一部を回復する。

  Strong: attack/move speed surge with delayed self-heal. Weak: it BURNS his own health first — punish the debt window.

• E
  灰塵の追撃

  指定地点にテレポートしてから次の対象へダッシュし、通過した敵にダメージを与える。

  Strong: teleport-then-dash onto a target — assassin reach. Weak: the arrival is readable — hold CC for the blink.

• R
  煉獄

  拘束のアーティファクトを投げ、命中した敵にダメージを与え、場合によってはとどめを刺す。敵チャンピオンを封印すると、さらなる力を獲得する。

  Strong: a binding execute that grows stronger per soul sealed. Weak: snowball-gated — deny early kills and the artifact stays dull.

Itemization

Stay healthy (sustain > resists), punish his self-burn window, and starve the seal snowball.
