Learn how to Azir counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Immediately move sideways when Azir places a Sand Soldier near you — they deal significant damage in a line when he auto-attacks and have a medium attack range.
Basic Lane Phase
Time your trades for when Azir's Sand Soldiers expire (they last 10 seconds) — without active soldiers, his damage output is minimal.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Engage aggressively when Azir uses his E (dash to soldier) — this ability is his only escape, leaving him extremely vulnerable for about 20 seconds while it's on cooldown.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Coordinate team engages after Azir uses his ultimate — Emperor's Divide has a long cooldown (120/105/90 seconds) creating a substantial window of vulnerability.
Team Fight
Save hard CC for when Azir attempts his 'Shurima Shuffle' combo (E+Q+R) — interrupting this combo leaves him out of position and vulnerable to counterattacks.
Advanced Team Fight
Match Azir's waveclear especially after he gets Nashor's Tooth — preventing his free pushing denies him tower damage and roaming opportunities.
Lane Phase
When multiple Sand Soldiers hit you with Azir's Q, the slow effect stacks by 25% per soldier — move perpendicular to their path to avoid getting hit by multiple soldiers.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Force quick engages when facing Azir in team situations — don't let him control the pace with Sand Soldier poke, as he excels in extended standoffs.
Team Fight
Watch Azir's mana and map awareness at level 6 — he may attempt to Shurima Shuffle you into an approaching jungler for a guaranteed gank.
