How to beat Camille

Common role: Top

A dueling diver who grapples across walls and locks your carry in a 1v1 zone.

What makes Camille dangerous

Camille's Q gives two empowered auto-attacks with true damage, her E hookshots across terrain to stun, and her ultimate traps a single target in an arena, cutting them off from their team. She shreds tanks and squishies alike and is a lane bully that snowballs and assassinates carries.

How to play against Camille

• 1Respect her E: it's a two-part hookshot that stuns only if the second dash hits a wall. Fight away from terrain so she can't get the stun.
• 2Her Q's second hit does true damage and heals her — space so she can't land the empowered auto, and don't extend trades she out-sustains.
• 3Her ult isolates one target for a 1v1. Position so she can't reach your carry, and buy QSS/Zhonya's on the target she wants.
• 4Her passive shields against one damage type after a few autos. Mix your damage or burst her before the shield forms.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓E stun needs a wall — open ground denies it.
• ✓Squishy diver; hard CC and burst delete her.
• ✓Passive shield covers only one damage type.
• ✓Ultimate commits her to one target, away from her team.

Abilities & how to counter them

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

• P
  Adaptive Defenses

  Basic attacks on champions grant a shield equal to a percentage of Camille's maximum health against their damage type (Physical or Magic) for a brief duration.

• Q
  Precision Protocol

  Camille's next attack deals bonus damage and grants bonus Move Speed. This spell can be recast for a short period of time, doing significantly increased bonus damage if Camille delays a period of time between the two attacks.

  Strong: two empowered autos, the second dealing true damage and healing. Weak: space so she can't land the empowered hit and don't extend trades she out-sustains.

• W
  Tactical Sweep

  Camille blasts in a cone after a delay, dealing damage. Enemies in the outer half are slowed and take extra damage, while also healing Camille.

• E
  Hookshot

  Camille pulls herself to a wall, leaping off and knocking up enemy champions upon landing.

  Strong: a two-part hookshot that stuns off a wall. Weak: it only stuns near terrain — fight in the open to deny the stun.

• R
  The Hextech Ultimatum

  Camille dashes to target champion, anchoring them to the area. She also deals bonus magic damage to the target with her basic attacks.

  Strong: traps a single target in an arena for a 1v1. Weak: position so she can't reach your carry, and QSS/Zhonya's counters the isolation.

Itemization

Camille is AD with true damage and a shield. Plated Steelcaps and armor help, Serpent's Fang cuts her shield, and Grievous Wounds counters her Q healing. Fight in open areas to deny her wall-stun.
