Umatcha says “En línea es un Ezreal de point & click. Una vez que consiga 25 cargas, procura no estar cerca de los minions para evitar regalar cargas y que te pokee Al llegar a 125 cargas, su Q gana más area, por lo que puede pushear más rapido que tú si tienes las armas equivocadas. Una vez que Smolder llega a las 225 cargas, INSISTE en focusear SIEMPRE a Smolder por su ejecutar que va aumentando según sus cargas-”

Dr Yoshili says “Despite his infinite scaling, you kind of outscale him, you'll deal more damage in team fight, more AOE, while having more range, you might be able to kill him in team fight due to his short range in lane, abuse his short range, you will win this easly You can also try to perma push him (if you have vision, and know where is their jungle/mid), it will make him harder to get stacks and farm (especially after he gets it's AOE Q)”

I Am Not u says “This guy really means nothing to you. Smolder only has a couple tools for getaway and they're really not that good if you're smart. Jump ON him to slow him so his E can't get him away, then auto attack him to death. Deny his stacks as much as possible and he essentially becomes free gold.”

gaarrett says “Smolder's trade pattern is incredibly similar to that of a mage, except he's not immobile. Use W to dodge his Q and subsequent autos. Ult can pull him out of his E flight if timed correctly. Lategame Smolder can evaporate waves without even trying, if you didn't draft engage then good luck getting on top of him. ”

support_diff says “Smolder has great scaling into mid/late game, but isn't that good early. Play around his E's cooldown as it is his most useful ability against you in trades. Keep in mind his level 4 damage powerspike (his damage is high compared to level 4 Ezreal) and don't get poked by him. When Smolder reaches level 6 he gets some extra sustain which can win him fights if you aren't aware of it.”

thedanknepper says “Smolder works well if he doesn't have a Jhin playing against him, since most late-game champs struggle greatly to comprehend his actions, and ultimately perish on his feet. Just watch out after his Q has enough stacks to execute, since he burns.”

Alvatorz says “| STRENGTHS - Strong late game / Safe laning phase / Versatile in build | WEAKNESSES - Weak to CC / Weak early / Easy to abuse | WHAT TO DO ? - Smolder is a non champion pre 125 stacks. You can abuse his weak early game as much as you want by taking trades or just by poking him. Late game, it's kinda mixed since he can execute you but you still have more damage faster and more survavibility.”

Tips Against Smolder in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

xumi_k says “Easy-peasy. However, he will probably play super safe and fly away when you E, so roam. Scaling champ, you can kill him early, and later on as well if he keeps playing safe. Still, be careful late game. ”

Tamikaze says “I have a fair share of experience with Smolder to say that he could be considered a major threat, but NOBODY knows how to truly play him. Smolder can poke you out early, but if the smolder doesn't realize that, punish him for walking up by W+Q+W poking him out of lane. Your range is significantly higher than his and eventually he'll be burning resource to even have a chance to farm against you. Once you have Nashors, he cannot fight you ever, even after he gets 225 stacks, it still difficult for him. ”

Foxirion says “Smolder’s abilities can create opportunities to catch Swain off guard, making him a potential threat.”

gaarrett says “Smolder is a horrible champion. He has no lane presence and can be turned into free Dark Seal stacks. Hit E2 when he tries to E away from you. [4/5] ultimate, good AOE and it has an innate AP scaling. Remember that the middle heals you if you stand in it. ”

plankbro says “Eat him for breakfast. Q into E and punish him heavily. He tickles you early, but he will likely outscale you late game anyways so convert his early weakness into kill gold and plate gold and splitpush faster than he can teamfight.”

ShokLoL says “Smolder has very little lane threat and you should have no trouble bullying him all lane long. Just make sure you aren't spam pushing waves into him for free, sometimes it's better to keep the wave out in the middle to allow for more trading opportunities.”

Veralion says “Solo lane Smolder is surprisingly popular. Like Aurelion, he's a ticking time bomb, but he gives you a free early game, and your midgame's way stronger. W away from his W to avoid giving him stacks and shove in whenever possible to make his tower eat more stacks. And, just like Aurelion, you have to knock him out of his E with your R to have kill pressure. He's pretty much uncatchable if you don't.”

vSomnia says “If he missed W or used it to farm wave, take a trade. He will E away, thats fine cause it has high cooldown, try to trade again with his E being on cooldown. Try to always engage when he has no E. If you time it well you can get passive off even when he has E, with E Q combo and Hail Of Blades.”

Fanatical Goose says “Refer to the Guide Chapters ranged strategy. Specifically against Smolder you want to bait out his E with a fake all in then go all in when his E is down and you have Q. You can also lower the distance he can travel with his E by getting pushed in. If you are behind you can proxy due to his lack of mobility and your sustain. ”

step1v9 says “I put this champion in even, but the truth is it's more of a counter. The only reason it isn't major is because smolder is so squishy. If laning versus this mid lane just push and roam for skirmish. Try to interact as little as possible so Smolder can't stack on you for free. Don't skirmish near walls because smolder will use them to disengage with E.”

TeiWasTaken says “Free matchup. This ranged toplaner does negative damage early, so just use your E2 to stick on him if he tries to escape with E and smack him to death!”

NegativePhoenix says “Smolders not really an issue in the early game in fact if you bait out his E he's really easy to kill once you have 2 chain and Steelcaps cause he won't do a ton of damage to you by that point. Just try to bait out his E but don't over-extend for it else he'll just retaliate with hard poke”
