Flash is a blink summoner spell that activates instantly upon being cast, teleporting the player's champion a short distance in the direction of their cursor.

Strategy

Flash Flash can easily be used to escape from or catch up with a foe. It can be used to dodge or land abilities. It can also be used to move over walls, either for a quick escape or in response to an opponent's dash.

Trivia

  • For a time, the inclusion of Flash Flash in the game was hotly debated and Riot even considered removing it from the game entirely, with parts of the community for and against removal. As a result, it has suffered several nerfs.
  • One of the pieces of trivia in the loading screen states that it takes 3 hours and 20 minutes (40 Flash) to travel from one fountain to another only with Flash Flash and without masteries.
