Miss Fortune Guide

ADC

Miss Fortune is a lane-bully marksman with strong poke and burst and one of the best teamfight ultimates in the game. Love Tap deals bonus damage whenever she attacks a new target, Double Up bounces a shot off its target to hit an enemy behind it, Strut gives her movement speed while she avoids damage and attack speed when activated, Make It Rain slows an area with a hail of bullets, and Bullet Time channels waves of bullets in a cone. She wins lane through short trades and denial, then decides fights with Make It Rain into Bullet Time.

Start Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, or a Long Sword to rush your first item; Doran's Bow is another option. On your first back, buy a B. F. Sword, Pickaxe or Serrated Dirk when ahead, a Vampiric Scepter for sustain against poke lanes, or boots and a Long Sword when behind. The critical strike build is Bloodthirster, Boots of Swiftness, The Collector, Lord Dominik's Regards, Infinity Edge, Hexoptics C44 and Guardian Angel: rush Bloodthirster against poke, take Infinity Edge to boost Double Up and Bullet Time, and buy Mortal Reminder instead of Lord Dominik's Regards when you need anti-heal. Black Cleaver also stacks with each wave of Bullet Time, Essence Reaver fixes mana problems, Rapid Firecannon adds range, and Maw of Malmortius, Mercurial Scimitar or Immortal Shieldbow help against burst. Run Press the Attack with Triumph, Legend: Bloodline and Coup de Grace, plus Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm; Conqueror with Cut Down is a dueling alternative, and a First Strike page suits lanes where you would rather poke. Take Flash with Barrier against burst, Cleanse against heavy crowd control, or Exhaust, Ghost or Heal. Max W, then Q, then E.

Strengths

  • Great poke and burst, and a lane bully in many matchups.
  • Bullet Time is a game-changing teamfight ultimate, especially with crowd control to set it up.
  • Flexible item paths and good objective securing.

Weaknesses

  • Squishy and immobile, with no dash to escape.
  • Bullet Time can be interrupted by crowd control.
  • Mana-hungry, with little crowd control of her own.

Laning Phase

Your early goal is to gather gold and experience while denying the enemy. Leave an enemy caster minion low while last-hitting, and when the enemy steps up, Double Up off that dying minion for a guaranteed critical bounce. Use minions to land Double Up bounces on champions that outrange you, such as Caitlyn. Freeze the wave to make the enemy walk into gank range, or fast push and crash it into their tower to recall or roam safely. Take short trades to chip the enemy down; once they are low, they must either risk staying or recall and lose resources. Switch between targets to keep triggering Love Tap, and avoid needless damage to keep Strut's movement speed.

Mid & Late Game

Once the first bottom tower falls, move to mid lane: it keeps you safer from side-lane ganks and lets Strut's speed carry you to dragon, Rift Herald or Baron. Never walk into the fog of war blindly, because a single hit removes Strut's speed; use Make It Rain to check brush from range. In late-game teamfights, group with your team around Baron and Elder Dragon, wait for the enemy's crowd control, and channel Bullet Time from the fog of war into river choke points so every wave hits. Follow your team's crowd control, such as a Leona or Malphite engage, for maximum damage.

Key Tips

  • Double Up can hit enemies hiding in nearby brush by bouncing off minions.
  • Bloodthirster's shield helps you keep Strut's bonus movement speed.
  • Aim Bullet Time into choke points so every wave hits the enemy.
  • Bait out dashes such as Lucian's before you channel Bullet Time.
