Fighter / Diver
Beginner Rule
If Hecarim starts running at you with Devastating Charge (E) active, prepare to disengage.
Hecarim is a fast-moving fighter who excels at diving into fights and disrupting enemy backlines. He wants to build momentum through Devastating Charge (E) before engaging with Onslaught of Shadows (R). Many beginners underestimate how quickly Hecarim can reach them from off-screen.

He stacks Q damage rapidly in extended fights. Don't let him get 3+ Q stacks on you — back off after the second hit.
WWhat it does
Gains Armor/MR. Heals for a percentage of damage nearby enemies take from any source.
How to play against
His W healing scales with ALL damage enemies take nearby — including your allies' abilities. Anti-heal counters this.
EWhat it does
Charges forward with increasing Move Speed. Can move through units. His next attack deals bonus damage based on distance traveled.

Charges in a line dealing magic damage, then creates a shockwave causing nearby enemies to flee in terror.
How to play against
Fear causes you to run away uncontrollably. Don't group with teammates near him. Move off his charge line immediately.
