Lore:

POOF! in a flash of brilliant light, Bandle City was gone. In its place was a dense forest filled with ravenous creatures, and instead of a united group of yordles, only many small meandering tribes remained. A once advanced civilization had become a primitive, tribal people. The yordles now, however, inhabited almost every corner of Runeterra. Whenever one tribe fell there was always another to take its place, whenever one enemy arose, there was always two other yordle clans to face them. Although most yordles were more interested in their next meal, there was one yordle that was different from the others; a yordle who had a dream.

Quirk had always had an interest in flight. During the day, he would dream of soaring through the sky like the falcons that flew high above Fyrone Flats. At night, he would wish to be one of the many falling stars that streaked across the dark sky. As he grew, he would draw out countless designs of flying machines that he would hope to build one day. He would always ask anyone he met if they knew how to fly. When he was finally given the opportunity to ask the Fyrone Elders about flight, the guard would not even let him into the Hall, saying that such a thing was impossible.

This, however, did not deter him from his dream. Night after night he would sit in his little hut trying to find a way to fulfill his dream, and day after day he would test his machines on the expanses of the flat. After months of frustrating work he finally came to the conclusion that flight was most likely impossible. But he would have no time to mope about...

War was coming. The Kumunguns had united themselves against the yordles in an effort to finally "purge the furry plague from the lands of Runeterra", as the invaders had said. As the yordles began to prepare for war, those who could not fight began to scatter and hide in the many caves and clefts that they had marked. It was in his dark cave that Quirk would make a discovery.

As he was lighting a lamp, a stray spark fell. This spark, instead of dying out when it hit the ground like he had expected, it ignited the liquid at his feet and exploded. Quirk's curiosity peaked, he decided to see what would happen if he were to set a larger amount ablaze. He collected a small can-full of the black liquid and dropped a cinder into it. Only seconds after he covered the can, it exploded, sending the rock that he had covered it with flying out of the cave in a ball of fire.

Suddenly he realized how he would fly. He would carve a cylinder out of stone, fill it with the liquid he had found, strap it on his back. and light on fire, sending him flying high into the sky. He would eventually create a way to control himself as he was flying, and His findings would eventually allow the yordles of Fyrone to stop the invading Kumunguns and take back the land that they had lost in past wars. Now Quirk fights to defend the yordles using his beloved rockets and shows that a yordle can still dream.

**Lore Challenge: QUIRK'S TRIP TO THE FRELJORD **

Quirk sneaked his way past the frostgaurd that were guarding the entrance. He had come to the Freljord looking for the "true ice" that many other explorers had talked about. Although it had great power, the little yordle only wanted to use it to create something that almost no yordle had ever seen: SNOW!

In his pursuit of snow, he had found himself deep in frostguard territory, at a cave that was said to contain the abundant supply of true ice. Carefully, Quirk began to chip off a more manageable chunk of true ice using the enchanted pick that he had borrowed. As he picked up the shard, he stumbled, dropping the shard, falling to the ground, and uttering a little cry. The commotion was just loud enough to capture the suspicion of one of the guards. As the guard entered the cave, Quirk dived into a nearby now drift and sat petrified. For what seemed like many hours, he waited, watching the frostguard circle the room and inspect the spot where he had chipped off the shard. At last, the guard left; only to peer back in as Quirk emerged from the snow drift. Panicking, Quirk fired his jetpack, sending him flying out of the cave and alerting the entire battalion that was guarding the true ice to his intrusion. Still panicking, he ran across the tundra, tripping over poro after poro and covering himself in snow.

When he finally reoriented himself, he had been cornered in front of a cliff edge. However, this time he was ready. He laid down torpedo mines at his feet and jumped up to the cliff behind him using his jetpack. Then, as the frostguard were disabled by the mines, Quirk fired his jetpack and threw a rocket at the ledge he was on, flying further up the cliff and slowing down the pursuing frostguard. He continued to fly further up the mounain, avoiding the treacherous stone spikes and traps that the frostguard had set up. Once he reached the top, he started to set up his Massive Mega Missle. However, the frostguard were not going to let him get away easily. As he set up his missile, the frostguard began to conjure a blast of dark energy. To Quirk's surprise, when he launched his missile, the blast began to follow him. He flew, accelerating as he streaked through the freljord sky. Even as he hurtled across the sky, the blast continued to follow him and also accelerate towards him. Just as the blast destroyed the rocket, Quirk fired his jetpack, sending him flying into the thick snow below. He had finally escaped the frostguard and was now able to show his yordle kind the beauty of snow.

• Gameplay:

• Early Game: Quirk's early game is simple. His Q and passive allow him to easily bully his lane opponent, and his E and passive give him enough mobility for him to safely shove his opponent into their own tower. Quirk’s traps also give him some kill potential if an enemy steps on them. A combination of a passive proc, Q, and E is his usual trade pattern.

• Mid Game: Mid game is where he begins to shine. Quirk’s decent base damages and his traps allow him to help his team control major objectives, while his ultimate gives him a great nuke or escape in early skirmishes. His ultimate also lets him apply pressure by simply stepping into fog of war depending on how many stacks he has on his Tear.

• Late Game: By late game, Quirk should have a fully charged Tear and, in result, effectively global pressure. The AoE poke from his rockets will add up quickly at this point, and a combination of a well-placed trap, a few rockets, and his ultimate can easily send entire teams back if they don’t have a lot of tankyness. His mobility will also make diving him tough, although any kind of CC will leave him extremely vulnerable.

• Recomended Items:

  • : Gives him important mana sustain, which allows him to bully enemies more easily. It also helps verses mid laners who can poke him back.

  • : Also gives him some mana sustain, extra AP, and a little extra HP. Useful verses high burst mid laners.
