6. Artanis's Tips and Tricks

7.

Artanis is a Bruiser and therefore should be played as a Solo Laner. He shines in extended combat, as long he is able to consistently use Basic Attacks on a nearby target, something that cannot be easy due to his low mobility. In order for Artanis to reach and be able to stick on enemy Heroes, assistance from his team is usually required, so be sure that your team has enough crowd control when you want to play him. Additionally, crowd control counters Artanis hard, as he needs to use Basic Attacks to keep up his shields from Shield Overload.
