With Lee Sin, you almost always want to start with the Q, as it can be extremely helpful for an Invade and also has 2 instances of damage, unlike his other abilities, making it perfect for a buff start. If you want to start with the wolves or chickens for certain reasons, you can of course also start with the E. Then you skill the E (or in the E-start case the Q), which is your second spell with direct damage. Last but not least, of course, skill up your W, as this not only gives you a healthier clear, but can also be quite helpful with ganks.

Tip: Lee Sin’s abilities are very special, as every normal ability has a second instance. This synergizes strongly with his passive, which you want to take advantage of, especially when clearing the jungle and in long fights: You always want to do 2 autoattacks after each ability, as this allows you to reach the maximum DPS.

Combos: Lee Sin’s combos are probably what ultimately makes the champion. It’s debatable whether Lee Sin has the most difficult combos in the entire game, as there are almost endless ways to combine his abilities with his items and summoner spells. However, since it would go beyond the scope of this guide to mention all possible combos here, here is just a small list of the most important combos you need to be able to do for Lee Sin [You can see what these combos look like in the game in the accompanying video guide]:

Wardjump [4 – W] : Probably the most common and also the easiest combo with Lee Sin is the Wardjump. You place a ward and jump directly onto it with your W.

Insec [Q – Q – 4 – W – R] or [Q – Q – R – F] : Probably the best known combo with Lee Sin is the Insec. Here you try to get to an opponent’s carry as quickly as possible and kick it into your own team with the help of your ultimate. You can either use Wardjump or your Flash to get behind the carry (or both, of course, if necessary)

Oneshot [Q – AA – E – AA – R – Q] : The best combo if you want to oneshot an opponent who is already in your face is probably the normal oneshot combo. Here you try to cast all your abilities on an opponent as quickly as possible with autoattacks in between. The only important thing here is that you end the combo with the second Q, as the opponent can’t escape and it also offers an Execute and therefore causes more damage at the end of the combo!
