Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PGuerrilla Warfare
If Teemo stands still and takes no actions for a short duration, he becomes Invisible indefinitely. If he's in brush, Teemo can enter and maintain his Invisibility while moving. After leaving Invisibility, Teemo gains the Element of Surprise, increasing his Attack Speed for a few seconds.
Check how the hidden state ends and what can reveal you. Choose a route before relying on concealment to approach or escape.
QBlinding Dart
Obscures an enemy's vision with a powerful venom, dealing damage to the target unit and blinding it for the duration.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
WMove Quick
Teemo scampers around, passively increasing his Move Speed until he is struck by an enemy champion or turret. Teemo can sprint to gain bonus Move Speed that isn't stopped by being struck for a short time.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
EToxic Shot
Each of Teemo's attacks will poison the target %i:OnHit% On-Hit, dealing damage on impact and each second after for 4 seconds.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
RNoxious Trap
Teemo throws an explosive poisonous trap using one of the mushrooms stored in his pack. If an enemy steps on the trap, it will release a poisonous cloud, slowing enemies and damaging them over time. If Teemo throws a mushroom onto another mushroom it will bounce, gaining additional range.
Read the effect and its conditions, then practise it alone. Build your sequence around the effect you can reliably reproduce.
Teemo combos: execution and timing
AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.
Include Noxious Trap in the rotation
- W
- R

- AA
With Teemo, start with Move Quick, then continue through Noxious Trap → Blinding Dart → Basic attack. Choose a position that lets Blinding Dart work without losing your retreat. Check the next target’s range before following the sequence.

Game plan by role
Teemo · 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.
Before your next fight, check: Blinding Dart · Noxious Trap · Combos
Teemo · Jungle
Practise a repeatable clear before adding risky invades. Check nearby lane positions before entering the river or committing to a gank.
Prepare objectives by resetting, checking vision and moving with nearby allies. Avoid starting an objective solely because it has spawned.
Keep Smite and your escape plan in mind around contested objectives. Choose between engaging, covering a carry and keeping access to the objective.
Before your next fight, check: Blinding Dart · Noxious Trap · Combos
Teemo · Support
Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.
Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.
Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.
Before your next fight, check: Blinding Dart · Noxious Trap · Combos
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.
