Milio Guide

By LoLSuggest

Support

Milio is an enchanter support who heals, shields and speeds up his allies and shuts down engages. Fired Up! makes each ability he uses on an ally or himself empower their next attack or ability hit with bonus magic damage and a burn. Ultra Mega Fire Kick knocks back the first enemy it hits and then explodes to slow, Cozy Campfire follows an ally to grant bonus attack range and steady healing, Warm Hugs shields and speeds up its target with two charges, and Breath of Life heals nearby allies and cleanses their crowd control. Because he both heals and shields, he has no bad ADC synergies.

Starting Items

Core Items

Situational Items

Start World Atlas and a Health Potion. On your first back buy at least one Faerie Charm, plus Dark Seal if you can afford it, since it gives a lot of ability power for its cost, and Tear of the Goddess or Bandleglass Mirror with more gold. Upgrade your support item into Dream Maker, which is far ahead of the other options, and build Echoes of Helia with Ionian Boots of Lucidity, the only boots most enchanters should buy; then Moonstone Renewer, Diadem of Songs, which Whispering Circlet turns into once stacked, and Dawncore. Take Staff of Flowing Water in an AP-heavy team or Ardent Censer with several auto-attackers, selling your support item for it; Knight's Vow, Redemption and Morellonomicon are situational. Run Summon Aery with Axiom Arcanist, Transcendence and Gathering Storm, plus Bone Plating and Revitalize. Take Flash with Heal, or Exhaust against assassins. Max E, then W, then Q.

Strengths

No bad synergies: both healing and shielding are useful for any ADC.
Breath of Life is a powerful area cleanse against crowd-control-heavy teams.
Great disengage: Ultra Mega Fire Kick stops dashes such as Leona's, Rell's, Rakan's or Pyke's.

Weaknesses

Very long cooldowns early, especially on Cozy Campfire and Warm Hugs.
Immobile, with no way to stop an engage once Ultra Mega Fire Kick is down.
Little poke beyond Ultra Mega Fire Kick, and hook champions like Blitzcrank and Thresh can kill him with one catch.

Laning Phase

Take Warm Hugs at level 1, Cozy Campfire at 2 and Ultra Mega Fire Kick at 3. Save Ultra Mega Fire Kick to interrupt engages rather than to poke: it stops Leona's or Rell's dash, Nautilus's pull and even Pantheon's charged spear, and it refunds half its mana when it hits a champion. Against hook champions such as Blitzcrank and Thresh, stay behind your minions; if Thresh hooks an ally, kick him away before he follows up. Against poke mages like Lux, Xerath or Vel'Koz, stand behind at least two minions and keep Warm Hugs ready to dodge. When walking back to lane, cast Warm Hugs, then cast it again just before it ends to stack its speed. Your support item provides wards, so swap to Oracle Lens and keep vision on the river and lane brushes.

Mid & Late Game

In fights, keep Cozy Campfire on your carry for extra range and steady healing, and keep attacking to apply Fired Up! and stack Echoes of Helia. Hold Breath of Life for the enemy's key crowd control: it cleanses Rakan's charm and Seraphine's or Sona's ultimate, and together with Cozy Campfire it is your answer to Pyke's ultimate, since shields do nothing against it. Cozy Campfire can be cast over walls, so use it to check brush and objective pits while you set up and deny vision around dragon and Baron.

Key Tips

You cannot cast Breath of Life while you are crowd-controlled yourself, so stay out of the enemy's engage range.
You cannot cast other abilities during Ultra Mega Fire Kick's delay, so use what you need first.
Fired Up! counts as your damage, so allies attacking with it stack your Echoes of Helia.
Cozy Campfire's range bonus is a percentage of base range, so it is strongest on long-range ADCs such as Caitlyn.
