Rumble combos

the Mechanized Menace

3 Rumble combos explained key by key: in which order to cast the abilities, when to use them and what each step does. The main combo is E › Q › AA › W. Further down: every ability's cooldown, cost and range, and the skill max order measured over ranked games.

Rumble combos

The Danger Zone trade

E › Q › AA AA › W

When: You have more than 50% Heat.

Electro Harpoon slows and reduces magic resistance, Flamespitter deals more damage in the Danger Zone, Scrap Shield protects you with more health.

The area ultimate

R › E › Q

When: Enemies are in a corridor.

The Equalizer fires a salvo of rockets that creates a wall of flames that damages and slows.

The overheat

Q › E › W › AA AA

When: You want to finish by attacking.

At 100% Heat, you overheat: bonus attack speed and attack damage, but no abilities for a few seconds.

Common mistakes

• Overheating without having placed your decisive abilities.
• Not using both harpoons.
• Staying at low Heat: the Danger Zone empowers all your abilities.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.

Riot's official tips for playing Rumble

• Try and pace yourself to stay in the Danger Zone to maximize your effectiveness. It is easy to overheat if you rapidly use your abilities.
• Try and keep targets in the range of your Flamespitter. It can deal a lot of damage overtime.
• If you are winning a fight you can use your ultimate to wall off an escape path.

How to play around Rumble's combos

• Watch Rumble's Heat bar carefully. If you see him Overheat, go in for the kill while his skills are disabled.
• Rumble's ultimate can deal a lot of damage if you stay inside the area of effect. When you see the missiles falling, move out of the way as quickly as possible.
• Rumble deals almost entirely magic damage. Build some Magic Resistance to reduce his damage.
