Field Manual

How to Play

Everything you need before your first inevitable feeding: the goal, the map, the controls, and the shop. Read it, ignore it, blame your jungler. The classics.

Objective

The Goal

Two teams. One mission: tear down the enemy Nexus before they tear down yours.

1Push a lane by clearing waves of minions and slaying enemy champions.
2Break the turret chain — outer, then inner, then the inhibitor turret — to crack a lane open.
3Destroy an inhibitor to spawn reinforced super-minions that pressure the base.
4Smash the two Nexus turrets, then the Nexus itself. First Nexus down wins. GG.

The Protection Chain

Turrets must fall in order, outermost first. Each lane guards an inhibitor behind its inner turrets; destroy it and your minions get a super-sized upgrade in that lane (the inhibitor regrows after a while).

Only once a lane is breached can you threaten the two Nexus turrets and the Nexus itself. No skipping the line. Ruckus Ravine has standards.

The Map

Ruckus Ravine

A two-lane arena wrapped around a contested jungle, anchored by two pits holding the game's biggest prizes.

Two Lanes

Top and bot — each a guarded highway of minions and turrets between the bases.

The Jungle

The space between lanes: neutral camps, brush for ambushes, and walls to outplay around.

The Pits

Two objective pits carved into the jungle — home to the Drakeling and the Pit Tyrant.

The Bases

Each team's Nexus, fountain, and guarding turrets. Lose the Nexus, lose the game.

Inputs

Controls

Play it your way: classic right-click Standard controls, or full WASD movement — switch any time in the Controls menu.

Input	Action
`Standard / WASD`	Pick your movement scheme in the in-game Controls menu (top-left). Standard is right-click-to-move; WASD steers with the keyboard.
`Right-Click`	Standard: move, or attack an enemy under the cursor. WASD: cast your Q ability.
`W A S D`	WASD mode: steer your champion. In Standard, these are the W ability / attack-move / stop / summoner.
`Left-Click`	WASD: attack or interact with whatever's under the cursor.
`A + Click`	Standard: attack-move — walk toward a point and auto the first enemy in range.
`S`	Standard: stop. Cancel your current order and hold position.
`Q / W / E / R`	Standard: cast abilities at the cursor. WASD: abilities sit on Right-click / Shift / E / R.
`Ctrl + Q/W/E/R`	Spend a skill point to level up that ability.
`D / F`	Standard: cast your two summoner spells (WASD puts summoner 1 on Q).
`B`	Recall to base (channel for a few seconds — do it safely).
`P`	Open the item shop (only spends gold while near your fountain).
`1 / 2`	Quaff a Healing or Mana Draught from your inventory.
`4`	Place a Sentry Eye for vision (if you carry one).
`Tab`	Hold to view the scoreboard, kills, and items.
`Arrow Keys / Y`	Pan the camera; Y toggles camera lock to your champion.
`Mouse Wheel`	Zoom the camera in and out.
`Minimap Click`	Issue a move order or ping an objective from across the map.

Utility

Summoner Spells

Bring two into every match. Long cooldowns, game-defining moments. Choose your D and F wisely.

Blink

130s cooldown

Teleport a short distance toward your cursor — over walls and out of trouble.

Vault

150s cooldown

Leap a medium distance to your cursor. Great for chasing or escaping.

Warp

120s cooldown

Short-range teleport that swaps you across a wall in a blink of arcane static.

Mend

120s cooldown

Instantly restore a chunk of health to you and a nearby ally.

Renew

150s cooldown

A bigger single-target heal with a brief burst of move speed.

Salve

90s cooldown

A modest, fast-cooldown heal for trading in lane.

Scorch

90s cooldown

Burn a target over time as true damage and slow them.

Wither

120s cooldown

Sap a target with creeping true damage that lingers longer.

Hex Mark

80s cooldown

Brand a foe with a hex that burns hard for a short, vicious burst.

Bulwark

100s cooldown

Shield yourself for a few seconds against incoming damage.

Aegis

130s cooldown

A larger shield that soaks a big hit when you need it most.

A quick, cheap shield on a short cooldown for poke wars.

Sprint

Surge

160s cooldown

A bigger, longer burst of speed to cross the map or commit to a fight.

Bolt

90s cooldown

A short, snappy speed boost on a low cooldown.

Neutrals

Jungle & Objectives

The map's neutral monsters reward map control. Buffs win skirmishes; epic objectives win games.

The Drakeling

A drake lurking in the southern pit that grants your whole team a stacking buff each time you slay it. Small individual gold, enormous compounding payoff. Worth dying over (do not tell your team I said that).

The Pit Tyrant

The big one. A late-game epic monster that empowers your entire team when felled — better stats, scarier minions, real siege pressure. Contest it only when you can win the fight.

Jungle Camps

Cinderhorn, the Wellspring Toad, and the Gloompaw Flock dot the jungle (one set per side). Clear them for gold, experience, and personal buffs. The ember and tide camps grant boons that make a jungler genuinely terrifying.

Wisdom

Pro Tips

Hard-won advice from players who have lost in every way imaginable.

◆

Last-hit minions for gold instead of spamming — your wallet decides your build.

◆

Wards win games. Vision over the jungle and objective pits turns ambushes into free kills.

◆

Back to base when you have enough gold for a power spike, not when you are about to die.

◆

Trade your summoner spells: bait the enemy Blink, then commit when they have none.

◆

Group for objectives. A 5-man Pit Tyrant beats a heroic 1-man Pit Tyrant every time.

◆

When ahead, take towers and objectives. When behind, farm safely and wait for a mistake.
