How to play Joy ?

Listening to the rhythm will help to hit the beat on her 2nd skill. So it’s important to have the sound on when playing Joy.

Joy’s 2nd can only be used in succesion after hitting an enemy or the Leonin Crystall. If Joy misses her 2nd skill. Her damage will drop significantly as she waits on the cooldown.

Joy can’t use basic attacks or her 2nd skill during her ultimate, but she can use her 1st skill.

Skill 1 (Look, Leonin Crystal!) is a very flexible skill that can be used to clear minions and damage enemies. The skill can also be used in tandem with her 2nd skill to finish her enemies off or to activate her passive.

Skill 2 (Meow, Rhythm of Joy!) need to be released at the right moment during her dash to strike the correct beats. When done correctly , this increases the damages the damage on her 2nd skill and her skill 3.

Note: Meow, Rhythm of Joy! is Joy’s most important skill, you should max it first.

Skill 3 (Ha, Electrifying Beats!) can be used depending on situation. It can be used ensure a kill, or to damage and pressure multiple enemies while boosting her survivability through her passive.

Tactics:

Early game (level 1-7): Joy should focus on farming in the early game and unlock her ultimate at lv.4 before looking for fights. Do pay attention to her position in team fights, stay on the move, and keep your enemies at a loss.

Mid game (level 8-12): You can gank lane and seek out lone targets, especially fragile ones like the enemy mage and marksman. Joy should wait for the team to initiate and look for a good opportunity to get in some hits with her 2nd skill before committing to ensure she can hit 4 time to unlock her Ultimate.

Late game (level 13+): In teamfight, try to use your skills on every possible target to get extra shields.

Joy Ability

Passive: Humph, Joy’s Angry!

Whenever Joy’s skills hit a non-minion enemy, she gains a burst of Movement Speed and a protective shield. This passive allows her to dance around teamfights with high agility while mitigating incoming damage.

Skill 1: Look, Leonin Crystal!

Joy summons a Leonin Crystal at a designated location, dealing Magic Damage to nearby enemies. This crystal acts as a perfect setup tool, allowing Joy to use her second skill to dash over it and bridge the gap toward distant opponents.

Skill 2: Meow, Rhythm of Joy!

Joy dashes in a target direction, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies in her path. Hitting an enemy or her Leonin Crystal allows her to cast this skill again consecutively. To maximize her output, players must time each subsequent dash perfectly to the rhythmic music beat to unlock her Ultimate and drastically boost its damage.

Skill 3: Ha, Electrifying Beats!

Joy’s ultimate unlocks once she accumulates enough Beat Energy from her second skill dashes. Upon activation, she instantly removes all debuffs, gains massive Movement Speed, and becomes completely immune to slow effects while pulsing heavy AOE Magic Damage to nearby targets.
