Intro Top

Phinn is basically a walking mountain. He does very well in teamfights and uses his skills to stun and give teammates kills while also disrupting the game of the opponent. He is the very best in teamfights, but would find it hard to 1 v 1 because of his incredibly slow speed.

Players who want to use Phinn should consider that he is a valuable Vanguard which can engage and disrupt the opponent. Players who are support should consider using him as he can last in fights while also being immune to stuns.

He favors those that play defensively as he can last a long time in battle. His passive also adds a bonus for his armor and health. I am gonna suggest a defensive oriented Phinn that can support in a team fight.

I have been playing Phinn and win most team fights and games with a lot of assist.

Gameplan Top

Early game

I would say start with Iron Guard as it can help you farm, also purchase two halcyon potions to sustain and be ready for team fights early.

After farming, immediately buy boots and a scout trap, the boots would provide movement and the scout trap vision. Remember to help your fellow jungler.


Mid game

Start upgrading to contraption. I prefer contraption over war horn cause it provides unlimited scout traps. VISION is the key for a successful Phinn.

Try to build starting items already and see if the opponent is Cp or Wp oriented and build accordingly.

Upgrade the boots as the added movement, armor and health will benefit you.


Late Game

You should know your opposing team already. Build atlas Pauldron if there is a Krul or Saw. Build Metal Jacket for Joule and other Wp build. Build Aegis and Fountain renewal for Celeste and Skaarf.

If you are unsure of the other team then build fountain renewal and crucible as it can provide you with health.

After shock and Bonesaw serve as good back weapons for you. Bonesaw shreds armor for the team and aftershock makes you use skills more and deals additional damage.

Attack pattern Top

Engage with ultimate at the start then follow up with the first skill then use second skill to drag back


Overdrive of first skill can stun opponents.

Don't engage 1 v 1 unless you are sure you can kill the opponent.

Team fights are where you shine.
Do not be afraid to engage if you are with your team.

Teammates Top

Im gonna say the good teammates for now. There will be updates.

SAW - He is slow just like you,but has great synenergy with him. Use your ult to drag back enemies and stun them while Saw damages.

Celeste - Celeste being squishy, you can protect her and stun opponents. Drag the enemies to you while Celeste damages.

Taka - You can stun the enemies and let Taka burst them down.

Koshka - Same with Taka.

Krul - Great for jungling and 2v2 fights.

Glaive - His abilities fit with yours so make use of that.
