The marksman champion character of Twitch is a rat who carries a crossbow to ward off any opponent who is a threat. He's also known for hoping for the downfall of humanity and trying to find treasures through any sneaky method he can. Whether new to League of Legends or new to Twitch, our guide and strategy on this important character will give you the information you need to succeed. Twitch, just like every other character on League of Legends, is unique in his useful items, spells, abilities, threats, and synergies.
Items Useful for Twitch
There are both offensive and defensive items in League of Legends which can affect your gameplay, such as character movement and damage. Some items useful for Twitch include:
Combine items and gold to create recipes that help deliver specialized attacks on the enemy, and don't forget the basic items of health potion and Doran's Shield.
Spells
One of Twitch's greatest spells is Flash. Flash is a summoner spell that can help you dodge opponents and surprise others with your location so it's easier to attack or get away following an attack. Heal is another spell that Twitch players will find useful to replenish health and continue battling the enemy, although it can also be used to appear more injured to other players, effectively serving as bait to get them to approach you for the kill.

Threats and Synergies
When playing with any character, it's important to know who their biggest threats are and which other players you'll work well with. One of Twitch's biggest threats is Caitlyn, known as The Sheriff of Piltover. Other threats that Twitch gets countered with include Miss Fortune because of her speed, Draven because of how hard he hits, Rammus because he's tough to kill, Leona because she carries three stuns, and Yasuo because Twitch's ultimate attack won't do much against a well timed wind wall. Characters who are still threats but who Twitch counters well against include Jinx, Ashe, and Xayah, because they are generally easy targets against Twitch's attacks.
