Riftbound Frequently Asked Questions

Ruling: Yes, you can spend the buff to draw a card and then buff Sett Brawler from the conquer trigger. Sequence: - Both triggers happen at the same time when Sett Brawler conquers Monastery of Hirana - As the controller of both abilities, you choose the order to put them on the chain - You can order them so the buff from conquering resolves first, then spend that buff to activate Monastery's draw ability

Ruling: Yes, this triggers Fiora's Legend ability. Sequence: - Sett pays the cost of his ability, reducing his Might from 5 to 4 (ceasing to be Mighty) - The ability resolves, increasing his Might to 8 (becoming Mighty again) - Fiora's Legend ability triggers when Sett becomes Mighty

Ruling: Yes, you can stack the triggers. When both Sett and Monastery of Hirana trigger simultaneously on conquest, you choose the order. You can resolve Hirana's trigger first (drawing a card and removing Sett's buff), then resolve Sett's trigger (which will buff him since he's no longer buffed). Sequence: - Both Sett's conquer trigger and Hirana's conquer trigger go on the chain simultaneously - You choose to place Sett's trigger on the chain first, then Hirana's trigger - Hirana's trigger resolves first, drawing a card and removing Sett's buff - Sett's trigger resolves second, buffing Sett since he is no longer buffed Nuances: - Sett's trigger is added to the chain even if he is already buffed; it simply won't do anything if he's still buffed when it resolves - Buffed units can always be targeted by buff effects (unless a card specifies non-buffed units), even if the effect won't do anything to them

Ruling: No. Orange Sett's ability is an activated ability that requires you to actively declare and pay the cost to gain the +4 Might. It is not a triggered ability that automatically happens when the buff is spent. Nuances: - Triggered abilities use "When" or "At" in their text and happen automatically when their condition is met - Activated abilities use ":" in their text and work like spells - you must actively pay for them and can only play them at the proper timing - The legend ability spending Sett's buff does not automatically trigger orange Sett's ability because it is an activated ability, not a triggered one

Ruling: Yes, Sett will survive. A Cleanup occurs after an item on the Chain resolves, but since Sett's ability resolves and no other Chain items are added (opponent doesn't respond), no Cleanup occurs that would kill him. Nuances: - The opponent can force a Cleanup by responding with any ability (like tapping a rune for energy or recycling a rune), which would cause a Cleanup after that ability resolves and kill Sett. - Moving a unit causes a Cleanup to occur, but Cleanups do not clear damage from units. - Only combat resolution and end of turn clear damage from units.

Ruling: Yes, Sett dies. Damage and Might are tracked separately - damage counts up from 0, while Might can be increased or decreased. When a unit's Might falls below its accumulated damage, the unit dies. Sequence: - Falling Stars hits Sett twice, giving him 6 damage counters - Call to Glory buffs Sett to 8 Might (he now has 8 Might with 6 damage) - Smokescreen reduces Sett's Might by 4, bringing him to 4 Might - Sett still has 6 damage counters, which is now greater than his 4 Might - Sett dies because his damage (6) exceeds his Might (4) Nuances: - Damage does not reduce Might - only effects that specifically reduce Might (with the Might symbol) affect Might - Damage and Might are completely separate values that are not directly related - Healing removes damage counters (sets damage back to 0) but does not affect Might - Any time non-zero damage is greater than or equal to Might, the unit dies

Ruling: If Sett is buffed and at a battlefield, he gets +2 total: +1 from the buff and +1 from his ability. Sett's ability counts himself because the text says "each buffed friendly" and not "each other buffed friendly unit." Nuances: - Units cannot trigger their own death effects unless specified (like Deathknell) - Wraith of Echoes does not see itself die because it is already in the trash when death abilities are checked, and abilities need the unit to be on board to resolve

Ruling: Sett will not die at 0 might. A unit only dies from 0 might if they also have damage on them. Sequence: - Sett gets Smoke Screened while at 5 might with a buff - Buff is removed to save him, bringing him to 0 might - Sett replacement effect heals him to 0 damage - Sett survives at 0 might and 0 damage Nuances: - 0 might alone does not kill a unit; they must have both 0 might AND damage to die

Ruling: No, Sett cannot trigger Sunken Temple's ability if he is not mighty when he conquers it. Nuances: - Because the mighty condition on Sunken Temple is before the comma, it is part of the trigger condition and will not trigger if no unit is mighty during the conquer - If the condition was after the comma, it would trigger any time you conquer and only check for mighty at resolution (like Loose Cannon)

Ruling: No, Viktor, Leader will not spawn a recruit unit token when Sett's Legend Ability saves a unit, because the unit doesn't die. Nuances: - Sett's ability is a replacement effect that prevents the death from occurring - Viktor, Leader's ability only triggers when units actually die

Ruling: The unit does not die. Units only die when they have non-zero damage equal to or greater than their might. A unit with 0 might and 0 damage does not meet the lethal damage condition. Sequence: - The Boss's effect replaces death with not death - The buff is removed from the unit - The -4 might from Smoke Screen remains as a continuing effect - The unit survives at 0 might because it has 0 damage (non-zero damage is required for lethal damage) Nuances: - Healing removes damage, but does not remove continuing might modification effects - Recall moves units to base, but does not remove continuing effects - The Boss only replaces the death itself, it does not remove other continuing effects

Ruling: Yes, the Sett leader readies after conquering. Conquering happens after combat cleanup, which is when units dying to combat damage can be saved by Sett's leader ability. Sequence: - Step 1: Special cleanup occurs (units die or are healed from combat damage) - Step 2: Sett's leader ability can exhaust to save a dying unit during this cleanup - Step 3: Control is established and conquering occurs - Step 4: Sett leader readies from the conquer Nuances: - The saved unit that was recalled won't be at the battlefield when conquering occurs, so its "when I conquer" abilities won't trigger

Ruling: No, Baited Hook does not work if Sett prevents the unit from being killed. You still look at the top 5 cards, but you don't play anything since there's no killed unit to compare its might to. Nuances: - The variable (X) becomes null (not zero) when no unit is killed, so you cannot grab something with 0 or 1 power - This is different from Hidden Blade targeting your own creature - in that case, you can use Sett to recall the unit and still draw two cards because Hidden Blade doesn't specifically reference a "killed" unit, only requiring the target to be valid during resolution

Ruling: Units do not die from having 0 Might. Units only die if they are damaged and the amount of damage equals or exceeds their Might. Nuances: - Having 0 or negative Might from debuffs alone does not kill a unit - A unit must take damage that meets or exceeds its Might value to die

Ruling: Shakedown still resolves and goes to trash, but its effect does nothing. Since the unit is no longer on the board, there is no legal target to deal 6 damage to, and the unit's controller cannot be determined so no one can choose to let you draw instead. Sequence: - Shakedown is played and targets a unit - Opponent plays Retreat (or similar) to remove the unit from the board - Shakedown resolves but has no legal target - The damage cannot be dealt (no target) - No one can make the draw choice (controller cannot be determined) - Shakedown goes to trash Nuances: - The spell still counts as having been played and resolved for effects that care about spells being played (like Ravenbloom Student and Legion) - The target is chosen when the card is played and cannot be changed on resolution - Having no legal target does not prevent a spell from resolving; only the parts that rely on that target fail to apply

Ruling: During combat damage step and cleanup in a showdown, units die and damage is healed immediately one after the other, so Shen dying does not cause Sett to die because damage is healed before Sett is reevaluated with his new might. Sequence: - Units with lethal damage are killed and placed in Trash - Damage is healed from all units - If an event during cleanup qualifies for another cleanup, it occurs after the first completes Nuances: - Outside of showdowns (e.g., with a spell like Singularity), there is no heal until end of combat, so Shen dying would cause Sett to be reevaluated with reduced might and his current damage, potentially killing him in the subsequent cleanup

Ruling: You cannot play Shen as a reaction to a battlefield you don't control. However, if Shen could somehow be played in this scenario, he would have 3 Might during the initial non-combat showdown, then 5 Might during the subsequent combat showdown. Winning the combat would conquer the battlefield and score a conquest point, even as the defender. Sequence: - Initial non-combat showdown occurs where Shen has 3 Might (Shield doesn't apply) - Non-combat showdown ends, battlefield remains contested - Combat showdown begins where Shen has 5 Might (Shield now applies) - If Shen wins the combat, the player conquers the battlefield and scores a point Nuances: - Shen can only be played as a reaction to battlefields you control - A defender can conquer a battlefield on the opponent's turn and score a conquest point

Ruling: Damage does not reduce might. The unit still has 8 might but has 6 damage marked on it, meaning it only needs 2 more damage to be killed. Damage persists until the end of a combat showdown or end of turn. Sequence: - Singularity deals 6 damage to the 8 might unit - The unit now has 8 might with 6 damage marked on it - During a showdown, the unit still deals 8 damage to attackers - The unit will die if it takes 2 or more additional damage - Marked damage is removed at the end of a combat showdown or at the end of turn Nuances: - Non-combat showdowns do not heal units - Effects that reduce might explicitly state they reduce might - Track damage marked on units separately from their might value

Ruling: No, Evangel's Deathknell will not trigger twice. When units die simultaneously, they are placed in the trash before any death triggers are checked. Karthus is already in the trash when Evangel's Deathknell triggers, so Karthus's ability does not see Evangel die. Sequence: - Singularity resolves, killing both Karthus and Evangel - Both units are placed in the trash - The game checks for death triggers - Evangel's Deathknell triggers once from the trash - Karthus is no longer on the board to see Evangel die, so it does not trigger twice Nuances: - Deathknell abilities trigger from the trash because "When I die" describes the unit being placed in the trash - Units with "when units die" abilities (like Yellow Viktor or Wraith of Echoes) do not see themselves or other units that die at the same time, because they must be on the board to observe deaths - Units don't see themselves die unless they have Deathknell or similar abilities that explicitly allow them to

Ruling: No, targets cannot be retargeted once chosen. When Singularity is played onto the chain, its two targets are locked and cannot be changed. If one target is Retreated by the time Singularity resolves, the other target still takes damage but no retargeting occurs. Nuances: - You can Retreat a unit in response to Singularity before it resolves (using priority) - If you Retreat before target selection (in response to a reflexive trigger that creates Singularity), the opponent can choose targets after your Retreat resolves, potentially to their benefit

Ruling: The effects apply in the order they resolve on the chain. If Siphon Power resolves before Ahri's trigger, recruits go to 2 might then back to 1 might when Ahri resolves. If you want recruits to stay at 2 might, wait to play Siphon Power after Ahri's trigger has resolved. Sequence: - When you move and start a showdown, Ahri's "when attacking" ability triggers and goes on the chain - If Siphon Power is played before this (e.g., chained to a move trigger), it resolves first, bringing recruits to 2 might - Then Ahri's ability resolves, reducing them back to 1 might (minimum 1) - After Ahri's trigger resolves, you can start a new chain and play Siphon Power with focus, which will bring recruits to 2 might and they'll stay there Nuances: - Ahri's ability triggers during the initial "when attacking/when defending" chain at the start of showdown - Siphon Power targets a battlefield, not individual units, so it applies to all units present at that battlefield for the turn - The "to a minimum of 1" clause means Ahri's effect reduces might by 1 at the time of resolution, not as a lingering conditional effect

Ruling: No, Sky Splitter does not get negated. Once a card is on the chain, you never go back to paying the cost - the cost is paid once at the beginning during the process of playing the card, before opponents can respond. Sequence: - The card is removed from its zone and put onto the chain - The cost is calculated and paid - The process of playing the card completes - Only after the active player passes priority can opponents play reactions Nuances: - The card enters the chain before the cost is calculated, but this does not give opponents priority - the entire process of playing a card (including cost payment) must complete before opponents can respond - The active player retains priority after playing a card and may play further reactions before passing - Opponents cannot get priority before the cost has been paid

Ruling: Defy looks at the printed cost of the card, not the reduced cost. You cannot use Defy to negate Sky Splitter even if its cost has been reduced to 0 by Anvivia, because Sky Splitter's printed cost is 8. Nuances: - Cost reductions don't change the cost of a card for the purposes of effects that check cost; they just give you a discount when paying - This same principle applies to other cost-checking effects like Kai'sa's conquer ability with Eager Apprentice - However, Might reductions (like from Ahri) do actually change the Might value that cards see, because they modify the stat itself rather than just providing a discount

Ruling: No, Skysplitter cannot be countered by Defy even if its cost is reduced. Defy checks the cost printed on the card, not the actual cost paid. Nuances: - Cost reductions do not change what Defy can target - Defy always references the printed cost on the card

Ruling: Fiore will not die. Units do not die simply from being at 0 Might - they must be dealt damage while at 0 Might to die. Nuances: - Removing the Smoke Screen buff after damage is dealt can save the unit by restoring their Might above 0 - Being reduced to 0 Might alone does not cause death

Ruling: The Might reduction from Smoke Screen is snapshotted at the time of application. If a 4 Might unit is reduced to 1 Might (a -3 reduction), and later gains 2 Might from Discipline, the unit will end up at 3 Might total. Sequence: - Smoke Screen reduces 4 Might unit to 1 Might (reduction of -3 is calculated and applied) - The reduction is clamped at -3 Might and does not adjust when the base Might changes - Discipline adds 2 Might to the unit - Final result: 1 + 2 = 3 Might Nuances: - The reduction amount is determined only at the time Smoke Screen is applied, not continuously recalculated

Ruling: Assault 2 still works after Smoke Screen. The unit's Might would be 3 when attacking (1 from Smoke Screen + 2 from Assault 2). Nuances: - Smoke Screen is a one-time reduction effect, not a continuous lock on the Might value - Assault modifies Might while the unit is an attacker, which happens after Smoke Screen's reduction has already been applied

Ruling: Vayne will be 1 Might in the new combat. Smokescreen snapshots the Might reduction as -4 when cast and applies it continuously for the rest of the turn, regardless of whether Vayne's Might calculation temporarily goes negative. Sequence: - Smokescreen is cast on attacking Vayne (5 Might: 2 base + 3 Assault) - Smokescreen snapshots -4 Might reduction and applies continuously - Vayne leaves combat, losing Assault bonus: 2 (base) - 4 (Smokescreen) = -2 Might (treated as 0) - Vayne moves to new battlefield with Ride the Wind and becomes attacker again - Vayne gains Assault bonus again: 2 (base) + 3 (Assault) - 4 (Smokescreen) = 1 Might Nuances: - The -4 Might from Smokescreen does not change once snapshot, even if the unit's calculated Might goes below 0 - When a unit's Might is less than 0, it is treated as 0 for all purposes, but the underlying value remains negative for calculation purposes - A unit with negative Might won't die unless it takes damage

Ruling: One-time might modifications like Smokescreen are snapshotted at resolution. If Smokescreen gives -1 might when it resolves (due to the minimum of 1 might requirement), it will always give -1 might for the duration of the effect, even if the unit's might increases later. Sequence: - 2 might unit exists - Smokescreen resolves, reducing might by 4 but capped at minimum 1, so unit becomes 1 might (effectively -1 from Smokescreen) - Discipline resolves, adding +2 might - Unit is now 3 might (1 base + 2 from Discipline - 1 from Smokescreen's snapshotted effect) Nuances: - Smokescreen does not retroactively recalculate its effect after it has resolved - The -4 from Smokescreen is calculated once at the point it resolves based on the minimum of 1 might rule - Might changes are applied increases first, decreases last

Ruling: No, Snapvine does not retarget. Once a trigger has finalized and the target is chosen, it cannot be changed regardless of what happens to either unit. Nuances: - This applies even if other valid targets are available on the battlefield - The targeting decision is locked in when the trigger finalizes, before resolution

Ruling: No, you do not untap the runes. The "if I'm at a battlefield" condition is attached to the effect and is only checked at resolution, not when the trigger occurs. Sequence: - Sona's ability triggers at the end of your turn (the trigger is time-based only) - The trigger goes on the chain - If Sona leaves the battlefield before the trigger resolves, the "if I'm at a battlefield" condition fails at resolution - You do not get the untap effect Nuances: - The trigger always happens at the end of your turn regardless of Sona's location - The location requirement ("if I'm at a battlefield") is an "intervening if" that is part of the effect, not the trigger condition - This means it is only checked when the ability resolves, not when it triggers - All triggers in Riftbound are time-based, with additional stipulations being resolution-based

Ruling: No. When Soulgorger's ability goes on the chain, Soulgorger is already on board exhausted. There is no window where Magma Wurm would hit the board before Soulgorger. Sequence: - Soulgorger enters the board exhausted - Soulgorger's ability goes on the chain - Magma Wurm is played and resolves - Soulgorger remains exhausted

Ruling: Soulgorger enters exhausted. The "when I'm played" effect triggers after Soulgorger is already on the battlefield exhausted, so Magma Wurm enters after Soulgorger is already in play. Sequence: - Soulgorger is played and enters the battlefield exhausted - Soulgorger's "when I'm played" effect triggers - Magma Wurm enters the battlefield from the effect Nuances: - "When I'm played" effects trigger when a unit touches the table anywhere, not just when played to the battlefield

Ruling: Yes, Spinning Axe will be destroyed when the temporary trigger resolves, even if it was attached to a unit before the trigger resolved. Nuances: - Reminder text is not rules text, so the "if this is unequipped" reminder text doesn't affect how temporary works - Attaching the equipment turns off its rules text, but this happens too late to affect the trigger that's already on the chain - If there were an awakening trigger (like Irelia, Fervent while sealed), you could attach the equipment before the trigger goes on the chain to avoid temporary - Another option is to wait for your opponent to play something after they kill the equipped unit, allowing you to re-attach in response

Ruling: Yes, revealing Nocturne with Stacked Deck triggers his ability and allows you to play him for 1 power. Nuances: - Nocturne's text "if you don't draw" refers to not drawing Nocturne itself, not other cards - Drawing is different from revealing or looking at cards - The card must be banished to use the ability

Ruling: Yes, the second effect of Stand United (+1 to all buffs) is global and affects all friendly units on both battlefields. Nuances: - When played from Hidden, Stand United's targeting effect (placing the buff token) has an added "here" restriction and must target a unit on the same battlefield - The global +1 effect does not target, so it is not restricted by the "here" limitation and applies to all friendly units regardless of battlefield

Ruling: Yes, the friendly unit still moves to the battlefield even if the damage doesn't occur because the target isn't there. Stormbringer targets the battlefield, not the units on it. Nuances: - You choose both the friendly unit and the battlefield when Stormbringer enters the chain, not at resolution - The friendly unit choice counts as targeting and is locked in before resolution

Ruling: Yes, you can play Nocturne directly to the battlefield you're defending because you're still controlling it until combat ends. Nuances: - If you're defending with Teemo via surprise defense and don't actually control the battlefield, then you cannot play Nocturne to that battlefield.

Ruling: Sun Disc can only be activated at base speed when there is no chain present. Once The Harrowing begins resolving and playing units, there is no opportunity to activate Sun Disc between those units because a chain is present the entire time until all units resolve. Sequence: - Activate Sun Disc before playing The Harrowing - The next unit played (whether from hand or from The Harrowing) will enter ready - All subsequent units from The Harrowing will enter exhausted - No activation window exists between units being played by The Harrowing Nuances: - If you have 2 Sun Discs active, only the first unit played will benefit from both effects (both see the same "next unit"), so it's better to activate one Sun Disc before each unit you want to enter ready - Units in Riftbound instantly resolve when finalized to the chain, leaving no window to react even if Sun Disc were reaction speed - When an effect instructs you to play a card, you play it when that effect is resolving and at no other time

Ruling: No, you cannot. Sun Disc does not have Reaction, so if you play your first card and that leads to triggers that would play a unit (like Phoenix from trash), there is no window to use Sun Disc and have the unit enter ready. You must play a card to activate Legion before using Sun Disc's ability. Sequence: - You must play a card first to activate Legion - Then you can exhaust Sun Disc to set up its effect - Then play/trigger the unit (it will enter ready) - If Sun Disc itself is the first card you play this turn, you can exhaust it immediately and your next unit will be readied Nuances: - Sun Disc can use its Legion ability if itself was played this turn (counts as the card played to activate Legion) - On subsequent turns, you cannot activate Sun Disc's ability if you don't have Legion active yet - Sun Disc is a Delayed Passive Ability, not a Delayed Trigger - Because Sun Disc lacks Reaction timing, you cannot activate it in response to triggers that would play units

Ruling: Yes, Sun Disk can trigger its own Legion ability even when it's the first card played that turn. The card itself and its ability are treated as separate entities. Nuances: - The rules as written use the word "another" which could be interpreted to mean Sun Disk shouldn't work this way, but the intent is clear that it does work - When the ability activates, it checks if you've played another card (meaning "other than this ability"), and playing Sun Disk itself satisfies this requirement - The rules text may need clarification in future updates to make this interaction more explicit

Ruling: Yes, when a unit with Shield is granted Shield by an additional source, the Shield values are summed together. Nuances: - This applies to any unit that has Shield from one source and receives Shield from another source - The Shield keyword values stack additively

Ruling: You can flip Zhonya's in response to Deathknell, but this only saves the Zhonya's proc (prevents it from being trashed) - it does not save the Faefolk itself, which is already dead. Whether this works depends on if the battlefield is contested. Sequence: - If Faefolk dies during combat (contested battlefield): Deathknell triggers, you still have control of the battlefield during the chain, you can flip Zhonya's in response to save the proc - If Faefolk dies outside combat (not contested): You immediately lose control of the battlefield when Faefolk dies, Zhonya's is trashed before you can react to Deathknell Nuances: - The key factor is whether the battlefield is contested, not whether death was caused by combat damage vs ability - If Faefolk dies by ability mid-showdown (while contested), you can still save Zhonya's because control is locked until contested is removed - Control is locked during combat until the contested state is cleared, even if you have no units remaining - Flipping Zhonya's before Faefolk dies would save the unit but prevent the Deathknell trigger entirely

Ruling: Yes, the Yi player gets to benefit from both Zhonya's being in base and Tasty Faefolk's deathreel trigger. Sequence: - Tasty Faefolk takes lethal damage in combat - Yi player allows Tasty to die - Deathreel triggers, creating a chain - Zhonya's flips up and goes to base - Both effects resolve for the Yi player's benefit

Ruling: No, you cannot reveal Zhonya's after Tasty dies if it was your only unit on the battlefield outside of Showdown. The hidden card is removed during cleanup before players get priority. Sequence: - Tasty takes lethal damage and dies - Cleanup notices Tasty has lethal damage and kills it - Follow-up cleanup for Tasty leaving the field - Game notices you no longer control the battlefield and attempts to put Deathknell trigger on the chain - Another cleanup removes Zhonya's because the battlefield status changed from controlled to uncontrolled - Players get priority with Deathknell on the chain (but Zhonya's is already gone) Nuances: - You must activate Zhonya's before Tasty dies to have it do something (which would likely prevent Tasty from dying) - In a Showdown, the rule is different: control of the battlefield doesn't change until the end of Showdown, so you CAN play Zhonya's after your unit dies to save the hidden card - In a Showdown with Tasty specifically, you could play Zhonya's either before or after the Deathknell trigger

Ruling: Yes, Nocturne can be summoned to the Teemo battlefield when revealed by Teemo's defend ability. Nuances: - This assumes the Teemo player controls that battlefield, which is almost always true when the defend trigger happens - A corner case exists where Strategist wouldn't control the battlefield: active defense where you use an effect like Ride the Wind to move Teemo into an open showdown

Ruling: With the original printed text and current core rules, the ability would trigger twice - once when played from hidden and once when declared as a defender. Nuances: - The card has received errata that changes this interaction - The printed text does not explicitly say "or when I'm played from hidden" - Under current official play, the errata'd version should be used, which would only trigger once when defending

Ruling: No. Hidden units must be played to the battlefield they were hidden in. Nuances: - This restriction also prevents playing the hidden unit to your base - The hidden unit can only be played to the specific battlefield where it was originally hidden

Ruling: The 'When I defend' ability triggers as soon as Teemo becomes a defender and remains on the chain even if Teemo is returned to hand. You can still look at the top 5 cards, but you won't deal any damage since Teemo is no longer at the battlefield. Sequence: - Teemo is revealed as a defender at the battlefield - Teemo's 'When I defend' ability triggers and goes on the chain - Opponent can react by playing Gust to return Teemo to hand - The triggered ability remains on the chain and resolves - You look at the top 5 cards as per the ability - No damage is dealt because Teemo is no longer 'here' at the battlefield Nuances: - Triggered abilities are separate entities from the unit that triggered them, so removing the unit doesn't remove the ability from the chain - The only way to remove an ability from the chain is to counter it - You cannot prevent the ability from triggering in the first place since units resolve immediately when played/revealed, which immediately triggers their abilities - You do as much as possible when resolving the ability even if the source unit is gone

Ruling: When Teemo Strategist reveals Nocturne from the top of your deck, you can play Nocturne with his ability instead of recycling him. Sequence: - Reveal Nocturne with Teemo Strategist - Play Nocturne with his effect - You can shortcut by setting Nocturne aside to play after resolving Teemo, instead of bottoming him and then retrieving him from the bottom
