the Steel Shadow

Fighter

Assassin

Tier B Top

Camille, the Steel Shadow, is a fighter and assassin champion of medium difficulty. Across our 1251 analysed ranked games, Camille is mostly played in Top (65% of its games), and more rarely as Support (31%), with a 50.1% win rate in that role: tier B among Top champions (#18 of 48, ranked by win rate). Camille's damage is mostly physical (61%): armor is the best defensive answer against this champion. 33% of that damage is true damage and therefore ignores resistances. Win rate stays steady whatever the game length (48.7% to 50.5%): a reliable pick in every phase of the game.

How to play and combo preview

Camille is a mobile fighter who gains a shield when attacking champions, adapted to the enemy's damage type (physical or magic). Hookshot lets her leap off a wall and knock champions up on landing, and her ultimate locks a target in an area where her attacks deal bonus magic damage.

The lane trade

Q › AA AA › Q › W

When: An enemy is within attack range.

Precision Protocol empowers your next attack and gives you speed; recast it after a short wait to deal much more damage. Tactical Sweep hits with the outer half of the cone to slow and heal you.

The Hookshot engage

E › E › Q › W › AA AA

When: A wall is close to the target.

Hookshot launches you toward a wall and then leaps you off it; enemy champions hit on landing are knocked into the air. Chain your abilities while they are vulnerable.

Laning phase

Precision Protocol deals much more damage if you wait between the two activations: do not recast it too quickly. Your passive protects you according to your opponent's damage type, which makes close-range trades favorable.

Common mistakes

• Recasting Precision Protocol too quickly: the wait between the two attacks greatly increases the damage.
• Casting Tactical Sweep aiming at the inner half of the cone: it is the outer half that slows and heals you.
• Using Hookshot with no wall nearby: it needs one to launch itself.

Riot's official tips for playing Camille

• Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Hookshot to pick off vulnerable targets.
• Use the CC from your abilities to land both of your Precision Protocol attacks on enemies.
