Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PLiving Forge
Ornn gains an additional bonus Armor and Magic Resist from all sources. Ornn can spend gold to forge non-consumable items anywhere. Additionally, he can create masterwork items for himself and for his allies.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
QVolcanic Rupture
Ornn slams the ground, sending out a fissure dealing damage and slowing enemies hit. After a small delay, a magma pillar forms at the end location.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
WBellows Breath
Ornn advances, breathing fire. Enemies hit by the final gout of flame become Brittle.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
ESearing Charge
Ornn charges, dealing damage to enemies he passes through. If Ornn collides with terrain while charging, the impact creates a shockwave around him which deals damage and knocks up enemies.
Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.
RCall of the Forge God
Ornn summons a massive elemental at a location which travels toward him with increasing speed. Enemies run over by the elemental take damage, are slowed and are made Brittle. Ornn can recast the ability to charge into the elemental, redirecting it in the direction he hits it, causing the elemental to affect any enemies it runs over to be knocked up, dealing the same damage and re-applying Brittle.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.

Game plan by role
Ornn · Top
Keep trades short until you understand the opponent’s main cooldown. Check the minion wave before chasing and preserve a route back to your tower.
Decide between a side-lane push and joining the next objective. Push only as far as your vision and teammate positions allow.
Agree on your job before the fight: pressure a side, threaten a target or protect a carry. Save a key defensive tool when the enemy can turn on you.

06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
