CHAPTER 02 · BUILD ON THE BASICS
Know your champion

- Distinguish a component from a completed item and inspect the intended recipe.

CHAPTER 03 · USE YOUR TOOLS IN LANE
Lane foundations
Put champion knowledge into small decisions: collect resources, choose an exchange and plan a return to base.
Earn while you learn
Separate last-hit gold from nearby experience, then practise collecting safely.
What you’ll learn
- Identify a last hit as the finishing hit that normally earns minion kill gold.

CHAPTER 05 · FIND YOUR TEAM RESPONSIBILITY

Solo lanes, shared priorities
Give Top and Mid a clear job, then make your practice manageable.
What you’ll learn
- Recognise Top and Mid’s shared income and safety responsibilities without class locks.
- Check the assigned position and applicable role quest rather than inferring a swap from location.

CHAPTER 06 · BRING IT TOGETHER

What you’ll learn
- Distinguish a map objective from a champion kill or an unused advantage.

Course scope and review
This course teaches foundations for PC Summoner’s Rift. Use League’s in-game tutorial alongside it to learn movement and controls. It does not cover Wild Rift, advanced matchups or a complete champion/item roster. There are 120 authored questions across lessons and checkpoints; checkpoint retries use the same five questions.
Gameplay sources were checked on 18 October 2026. Independent human gameplay review and beginner playtesting remain pending. Current in-game descriptions take priority when systems change.
