Azir

Shurima's Legacy P

Shurima's Legacy

Innate: Whenever a turret outside the enemy team's base is destroyed, a marker is placed above its ruins which can be targeted by Azir.
Innate - Disc of the Sun: Azir can select a marker to construct the Sun Disc above the ruins after a 0.5-second cast time. The Sun Disc will activate after being assembled over 5 seconds.
The Sun Disc functions the same as a standard inner turret but deals magic damage, gains 40% AP bonus attack damage, and grants its kill credit to Azir. The Sun Disc's health decays over 45 seconds and loses 100 armor and 100 magic resistance while Azir is not alive or is too far away.
Azir cannot construct a Sun Disc with the marker while he is unable to cast abilities.
See Pets for more details about the Sun Disc.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Azir

  • Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
  • In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
  • Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.
  • Be a bird!

Playing against Azir

  • Azir relies on his soldiers to deal damage and can only move them so often. Try to capitalize on windows of time when his soldiers are stationary.
  • Azir has immense damage over a prolonged amount of time but lacks the upfront burst of other mages. Try to burst him out before he can turn a confrontation around.
  • Try to think of Sand Soldiers as fire. Don't stand in the fire.

Lore

Azir was a mortal emperor of Shurima in a far distant age, a proud man who stood at the cusp of immortality. His hubris saw him betrayed and murdered at the moment of his greatest triumph, but now, millennia later, he has been reborn as an Ascended being of immense power. With his buried city risen from the sand, Azir seeks to restore Shurima to its former glory.
