Twistedfate Mid guide

Twisted Fate mid is a roaming mage built around Wild Cards (Q), Pick a Card (W), and Destiny (R): throw Wild Cards through the wave to clear it, load Pick a Card for a bonus effect on the next attack, then use Destiny to reveal every enemy champion and Gate to any point on the map.

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Celerity, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Unflinching and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Pick a Card (W) at level 1, then maxes Wild Cards (Q) first with Stacked Deck (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Rod of Ages, Lich Bane, and Rapid Firecannon, with Zhonya's Hourglass, Dark Seal, and Luden's Echo as later options.

Ability mechanics

Wild Cards (Q) throws three cards that damage every enemy unit they pass through. Pick a Card (W) chooses a magic card from his deck to apply a bonus effect to his next attack. Stacked Deck (E) deals bonus damage and grants Attack Speed every fourth attack, while Destiny (R) reveals all enemy champions and enables Gate, teleporting him to any target location in 1.5 seconds.

Matchups
