Quick tip: Spell shield the ONE spell that matters (hook, arrow, dredge); ricochet clears waves before sieges even form.

Key combo

Boomerang Blade (Q) → Ricochet (W) bouncing autos → Spell Shield (E) to block a key spell → On The Hunt (R) team speed

Power spike & playstyle

Spikes at first attack-damage item and 6 with On The Hunt engage/disengage; a strong wave-clearing marksman with the Spell Shield to negate key CC.

Ricochet applies on-hit effects to every bounce, so Blade of the Ruined King and Wit's End hit the whole enemy team rather than one target.

In teamfights against grouped, low-resistance teams — the bounce multiplier is the largest damage amplifier available to any Season 3 carry.

In a duel. Against one target Ricochet does nothing at all, and crit Sivir out-damages this build every time the bounces have nowhere to go.

Blade of the Ruined King: active: 15% max HP + MS steal Wit's End: steals 5 MR per hit, 5 stacks Not modelled in this number: Frenzy (10% AS for 2s after a crit — not static).

Guide

How to play Sivir in League Classic

Sivir wins by never letting the game slow down: ricochet shoves every wave, denying siege setups and forcing enemies to match her tempo. Spell Shield is the lane matchup — eat their hook, arrow or bind with it and the lane's kill threat evaporates. On The Hunt turns your whole team into an engage or disengage unit; use it decisively, not reactively. You out-push every ADC in Classic, so play the map: shove bot, rotate mid, force towers. Your DPS is honest; your tempo is unfair.
