Cut through Armor and finish the pick

  • Spectral Sickle
  • Armorcrusher Boots
  • Youmuu's Ghostblade
  • Duskblade of Draktharr
  • Edge of Night
  • Guardian Angel

When two or more enemy frontliners are stacking Armor.

With +225 Attack Damage plus +55 and +6% Armor Penetration, your physical damage still lands on targets who build Armor. Duskblade of Draktharr's Nightstalker adds 60-160 bonus physical damage and a 0.35s 99% slow to the first attack against a champion, on a 10 second cooldown. A champion takedown refreshes that cooldown, so it is ready again for the next target. If you do go down, Guardian Angel revives you with 50% base HP after 4 seconds of stasis (180s cooldown).

Health, resistances and tenacity to stay alive

  • Relic Shield
  • Mercury's Treads
  • Youmuu's Ghostblade
  • Serpent's Fang
  • Edge of Night
  • Amaranth's Twinguard

When enemy damage leans magic and their crowd control is heavy.

This build carries +525 Max Health, +85 Magic Resistance, +60 Armor and 30% Tenacity. Amaranth's Twinguard's Endurance builds one stack per second while in combat with enemy champions; at the full 5 stacks it grants 20% Tenacity and raises AR and MR by 30% until that combat ends. Serpent's Fang cuts the shields an enemy champion gains for 3 seconds after you damage them, and melee champions apply (10% of bonus AD + 40)% reduction, capped at 60%.

Pyke Strengths

  • Chains executes with his Ult while sharing gold with allies
  • High mobility and survivability from stealth and a long dash

Pyke Weaknesses

  • ×Cannot build bonus HP, making him one of the squishiest champions
  • ×Missing skills leaves him with nothing to do but retreat

Early Game

Sneak up with Skill 2's camouflage and gank with the Skill 1 hook or the Skill 3 stun. Damage you take is stored by your passive and healed back once you leave enemy vision. With that recovery in mind, keep taking aggressive trades.

Mid Game

Use your mobility to roam the map, take vision, and hunt isolated targets. Finish anyone in the kill threshold with your Ult. Each execute also hands gold to your allies, so the whole team scales.

Late Game

Pyke is fragile, so avoid trading blows on the frontline. Lurk outside enemy vision and wait for a catch or a low-HP target to show up. Step out only when that opening appears.

Teamfights

Leading the engage yourself is very dangerous. Wait for your team to soften the enemy, then chain Ult executes on anyone who drops into the kill threshold. If you draw focus, disengage at once and heal up out of vision before returning.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Reckless Skill 3 dashes into the enemy team

Diving into the middle of a grouped enemy team just to land the Skill 3 (Phantom Undertow) stun is a costly mistake. Pyke is an assassin and melts the moment he is focused. Pull a target in with the Skill 1 hook first and wear them down with your team. From Lv5, look for chained Ult executes instead.

Pyke Combos
