8 Best LoL Skirmisher Champions to Master for SoloQ

Fiora

Skirmishers are usually the best duelist champions, that are intended to have the means to defeat any enemy that comes their way. And Fiora is a skirmisher through and through.

With her Riposte that allows her to turn back any crowd control onto the enemy, and her high mobility and in-and-out tactics, Fiora has all the tools needed to dish out damage while avoiding enemy reprisal.

Riven

Speaking of high-level mechanics, Riven is one of the best LoL skirmishers, who lives and breathes combos that incorporate animation cancels, to give the enemy no time to react to her damage.

With multiple dashes, knock-ups, and stuns, Riven can latch onto any enemy she sees, and keep them locked down while destroying their health from 100 to 0, in less than 3 seconds. Beware that she is one of the hardest LoL champions to master, however!

Master Yi

Survivability coupled with extreme damage and scaling is what makes skirmishers such a danger in the hands of a skilled player. And Master Yi is one of the most dominant LoL champions of said class, with great attack speed and true damage.

With an ultimate that ignores any slows, Master Yi can swiftly join a fight, and with the clever use of his Q, both evade enemy damage, as it makes him untargetable, while dealing heaps of his own.

With a Duskblade that makes him untargetable at each champion takedown and a W that heals him and grants bonus defenses, there is a reason Master Yi is such a fearsome enemy!

Bel'Veth

As one of the newest League of Legends skirmisher champions, bel'Veth moves the boundaries of what is possible. Her abilities allow granting her a way to overcome even the maximum amount of attack speed possible in LoL.

With a dash that requires no target, and an ultimate that offers true damage to melt even the hardiest of tanks, Bel'Veth is a prime example of a high-mobility, high-damage skirmisher!

Of course, with a main damage ability that roots Bel'Veth to one place during its animation, it takes skill to know when the best moment is to use it!

Lillia

Skirmishing in LoL comes down to dealing damage while avoiding taking any, with most LoL skirmishers gearing towards late-game scaling, and dealing AD damage. Lillia is an exception to the rule! While she is incredibly strong during the late game, her early game and mid-game are nothing to scoff at!

All of her abilities deal bonus damage when used optimally, with her Q dealing true damage and giving Lillia bonus movement speed, and her passive dealing bonus max health damage with each ability!

Due to this, Lillia is a champion that is fairly powerful even without items, capable of outplaying any enemy and winning early fights, while obliterating entire teams with each ability rotation during the late game.

Yasuo

While the jokes at the expense of this champion are numerous and is often considered as one of the annoying LoL champions, or an outright hated one, there is no denying that Yasuo is one of the most skill-expressive champions in the game.

With a dash that is infinite, but can only be used on targets, a wind wall that outright blocks projectiles coming from a single direction, and an increased critical strike chance from his passive, Yasuo is the typical LoL skirmisher.

To make these abilities balanced, they are restricted by certain rules, but a skilled Yasuo leverages them all into outplaying their enemy with no chance of retaliation!

Yone

The in-game brother of Yasuo, Yone, is another LoL skirmisher champion whose unique aspect manifests as his ability to all-in his enemies while leaving himself an easy way out if things turn sour.

This is due to his E, which functions as a dash, allowing one to engage his enemies, while the recast returns him to the location he first cast the ability from.

Seeing that his passive also increases his critical strike chance, and his abilities deal on-hit and magical damage, Yone is capable of dealing extreme amounts of damage, before returning to safety!

K'Sante

By far the most powerful champion currently in League of Legends, who is impossible to balance, is K'Sante. This is due to his dual nature as both a tank and a skirmisher champion, making him one of the most overloaded LoL champions!

With an ult that turns his tanky nature into the potential for damage, K'Sante cleaves through his enemies, while his abilities offer enough crowd control to keep them from running away.

Thus, K'Sante can easily take advantage of the strength tank champions have in the early game, while abusing his unique interactions with items for late-game scaling.

Only a handful of LoL champions in the history of the game have been as difficult to balance as K'Sante, with an extremely high win rate that is not dropping!
