How to Play

Mechanical Tips

  • Terrify (Q): if Fiddlesticks is out of sight before casting, fear + bonus damage. If already spotted, normal fear only. Always approach whilst stealthed or from behind cover to get the bonus.
  • Crowstorm (R): Channel out of sight (behind a wall, in the mist) — enemies can hear the channel but do not know the exact position. Aim for a spot in the middle of the enemy group.
  • Bountiful Harvest (W): Drains health from all nearby enemies. Deals execution damage at the end of the duration if the target is still hit — do not interrupt W too early.
  • Reap (E): Arc-shaped slash. The centre applies a silence as well as a slow — aim so that enemies are in the centre of the slash, not at the edges.
  • A Harmless Scarecrow (passive): Fiddlesticks’ effigies frighten enemies approaching them for the first time — place the effigies in key bushes to gain intelligence on enemy movements.

Common Mistakes

  • Cast R within the enemies’ line of sight — they can easily leave the area before it lands.
  • Interrupt W before it finishes — you’ll lose the execution damage.
  • Hit enemies at the edges of E — you’ll lose the silence.

Notable Interactions

  • R can be combined with Flash at the end of a lane to reach a surprise target.
  • Passive effigies trigger Terrify on enemies — useful for checking bushes.
  • Fiddlesticks is exceptional in teamfights around objectives (Baron, Dragon) thanks to R.
