Vision around Baron/Dragon and constant threat of kicking the opposing carry.

How to Play

  • Proactive vision: a pink in the enemy jungle opens up unexpected Q1 angles.
  • Don't force Q2 if the target takes you into a losing zone (towers, whole team).

Playing Against

  • Deep wards in the jungle and on key walls reduce their impact of his Q1s.
  • Stasis Enchant/Exhaust neutralize his aggressive inputs; hold your flashes when he has R.
  • Regroup on objectives: forcing front-to-back limits flanks and decisive kicks.

Insec with Flash

Mechanical Tips

  • Flurry (passive): After each ability, the next 2 auto-attacks gain +50% attack speed and restore 15 energy each. Chain 2 auto-attacks after each ability to maintain energy.
  • Sonic Wave + Resonating Strike (Q): Q1 fires the projectile. Q2 (dash) only works if Q1 has hit. If Q1 hits, the target is marked for 3 seconds — use Q2 immediately.
  • Safeguard + Iron Will (W): W1 towards an ally or ward to dash, W2 for resistance. Ward Hop = place a ward and immediately cast W2 on it.
  • Tempest + Cripple (E): E1 for an area-of-effect slow; E2 for an additional slow on hit targets.
  • Dragon’s Rage (R): Knocks back the enemy, knocking up all enemies in its path. Position Lee Sin behind the target to kick them towards his team.

Common Mistakes

  • Don’t cast two AAs after every ability — you’ll run out of mana (energy) at a critical moment mid-fight.
  • Misaiming R — kicking in the opposite direction to your team.
  • Missing Q1 and using Q2 anyway — Q2 without a mark = a miss.

Notable Interactions

  • Ward Hop on a ward trinket = free long-range repositioning without consuming W.
  • Insec is considered one of the most impactful plays in the game — handy in training mode.
  • Lee Sin has one of the highest skill ceilings in Wild Rift.
