Camille Counters and Build — Top Lane and Support · Patch 26.20

the Steel Shadow

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (7,251 games).

Camille, the Steel Shadow, swings onto walls with Hookshot and locks one champion inside The Hextech Ultimatum. Master+ players took her Top in most counted games and as a support in many others, split between Grasp of the Undying and Hail of Blades; Trinity Force, Ravenous Hydra and Death's Dance is the build they repeat.

Counter plan — how to beat Camille

  • Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives

  • Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it

  • Punish the cooldown — Camille is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 4/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Ability details

  • P

    Adaptive Defenses

    Basic attacks on champions grant a shield equal to a percentage of Camille's maximum health against their damage type (Physical or Magic) for a brief duration.

  • Q

    Precision Protocol

    Camille's next attack deals bonus damage and grants bonus Move Speed. This spell can be recast for a short period of time, doing significantly increased bonus damage if Camille delays a period of time between the two attacks.

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Camille in 3 patches. The latest is patch 26.16, published 2026-08-11.

    Why, in Riot's words

    With roaming supports all the rage, Camille has been queen. We are simultaneously looking to nerf her support roaming power while keeping or (hopefully) actually buffing her top lane. This means trading the raw all in power behind her passive shield early game in favor of significantly lowered cooldowns for better repeatable trading.

  2. Patch 26.42026-02-18

    EHookshot

    • Always On Point: Attack speed is now gained when Camille dashes off a wall, regardless of whether or not she hits an enemy champion.
    Why, in Riot's words

    Though Camille is statistically balanced, she's so feast or famine that she doesn't feel like it. We're giving her some extra reliability this patch by granting her Hookshot's attack speed any time she successfully dashes off of the wall, regardless of whether or not she hits her enemies. This should help her more generally so she can succeed in a wider variety of situations.

    Why, in Riot's words

    In her current state, Camille's laning phase is very hit or miss: Either she can comfortably beat her opponent with her passive, or she can't really engage with the lane and loses. While she appears powerful in the hands of most players we don't think this shape is healthy for her as a whole, so we're giving her W some additional power that will give her some more strength to play around early while balancing that with reduced base stats, which shouldn't feel particularly noticeable.

Riot's tips for Camille

Playing Camille

  • Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Hookshot to pick off vulnerable targets.
  • Use the CC from your abilities to land both of your Precision Protocol attacks on enemies.

Playing against Camille

  • Camille's shield only works against one damage type, so hit her when she's vulnerable to your damage.
  • The Hextech Ultimatum has a very short range to cast, so try to flash away from her before she gets close.

Camille's story

Weaponized to operate outside the boundaries of the law, Camille is the Principal Intelligencer of Clan Ferros—an elegant and elite agent who ensures the Piltover machine and its Zaunite underbelly runs smoothly. Adaptable and precise, she views sloppy technique as an embarrassment that must be put to order. With a mind as sharp as the blades she bears, Camille's pursuit of superiority through hextech body augmentation has left many to wonder if she is now more machine than woman.

Methodology

Data window
Preview sample — a one-time snapshot of 65,406 ranked games (Master+, EUW/KR/NA, patch 26.18), counted by GamGem while our Riot production key is under review. Figures will update daily once it is approved. Counted 26–27 Sept 2026; patches 26.18 (35,477) · 26.19 (18,580) · 26.17 (11,048) · 26.16 (293) · 26.15 (8); by server EUW 22,382 · KR 21,922 · NA 21,065 · EUNE 20 · TR 17. 642 games without a result — remakes ended by vote in their first minutes, and games recorded with no winner — were not counted.
Rank aggregation
Master, Grandmaster and Challenger, pooled — the three ladders the count read its players from. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under every lane that holds at least a tenth of its counted games — the position the match itself reports, not the champion’s class. Its headline win rate is across all of them; each lane’s own win rate and games are counted too, and a lane’s tier list ranks by them.
Counters
The two champions in the same position on opposite teams, over that pairing’s own counted games — ranked on the edge pulled toward zero by its sample size, printed raw.
Minimum sample
None — no figure is hidden for being thin. Every rate prints its games, and the confidence band is its 95% margin: Very High within ±1.5 points, High ±2.5, Moderate ±3.1 (1,000 games), Low wider.
Why a build is not a cause
An item is counted when the match ENDS with it, so late items show long games and an item bought when already ahead shows games that were being won. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying the item caused the win.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, keystones, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from Riot's ranked match records. An estimate, not a count: this panel is not in the preview sample, and is labelled so.
