Ardan Very tanky but your ult should be enough.

Blackfeather His ult doh. Bait it and use yours.
5
Joule Well.. This is a skill/build matchup
6
Vox High mobility. Get a teammate to stun
6
Skaarf Play safe and rush boots in laning.
6
Catherine Just tanky. Shield might block your ult enough for her to live.
6
Koshka Shield should be ok.
7
Glaive His stun can and will cancel your ult.
7
Skye Pretty slippery. If facing full weapon, try to outrange and poke in lane. If crystal and cdr, bait her B and ult, then ult.
8
SAW Damage will wreck you if you try to proc aftershock. High crowd control team, or get a scary ganker/tank. Ult him.
9
Taka Kaku can escape your ult. Use rocket leap to find him.

Krul Ouch. Stun, stun, stun.

Introduction Top

Learning Joule
Joule is a somewhat tanky melee fighter, able to instantly kill squishies in late game, when playing Joule , you have to have good prediction skills. Her second ability, Thunder Strike is amazing with aftershock 's passive. This guide was mostly made through Jungle Joule experience. Works in lane, too.

Abilities Top

So, you want to play Joule. First thing to you to note is that Joule is pretty hard. If you feel that you aren't too good at mechanically hard heros, stick with Ringo or something.

Slot A: Rocket Leap
Holy **** this is amazing. It can help you position, gank, insec, and more.
Rocket Leap: You literally leap onto the enemy. Because this is vainglory, enemies don't die when a huge machine drops on them (seems legit). When a location is selected, a circle appears to show where you will land. If you land directly on them, they are stunned and take full damage. If you land near them they take 33% damage and are knocked away.
TL;DR
Direct lands stuns and this can help you reposition

Slot B: Thunder strike
This is your main damage ability. It is basically spammable with a 3 second cooldown in late game. When you land it, your future basic attacks penetrate 10% of the enemy's armour.

Slot C: Big Red Button
This ultimate. Holy ****. This is the reason I gave my guide its name. Its base damage 750/1350/1950 AND 520% OF CRYSTAL? This is OP. Imagine getting one shatterglass. You will do an extra 1500+ damage. Tell me this isn't insane. Use this when the enemy team is lined up, in a Ardan ult, or when someone is chasing you/your teammates in a straight line. Also good for stealing objectives.
TL;DR
Your ult is OP. Kill everything.

How to play Joule Top

Tips for lane:
When you play Joule, remember, your early game is weak, unless you are really fed from early game teamfights. Start by poking the enemy laner. Oddly, Thunder Strike can hit slightly further than its shown range. Use that to your advantage and poke the hell out of them.

TL;DR
Poke like facebook when it was popular, thunder strike is longer than the shown range. If laning, low elo matches almost always have Ringo in them. It's good to know that Thunder Strike has a slightly longer range than Ringo .

Mid game Top

Mid game, you should have aftershock. Alternate your attacks and abilities for aftershock proc. Ult fleeing enemies at half hp or below. Get fed easily :).
Rank 2 ult, you should have at least 100 crystal power. Pissed at that enemy jungler? Ult = win.

TL;DR
Make plays with ult. Base damage = win.

Late game Top

Step one: Watch Destroy them with lazers by knife party.
Step two: Knock enemies into your team with Rocket Leap .
Step three: Position and ult.
Step four: See that enemy krul trying to solo kraken? Ult him.

Items Top

Core needs
Aftershock
Usr aftershock to shred tanks, shred turrets, basically rip your enemies apart.
How to use aftershock 101: Whenever you use an ability, the next autoattack will deal an extra 15% of target's hp as damage. Thunder Strike, Aa. Combo done.

Shatterglass
Just crystal dmg. Not much. Makes ult scary.

Alternating Current
Works well with aftershock. Sometimes, you might wanna spam autos for the sweet damage. It is also amazing since Thunder Strike's CD scales with AS.

Teamwork! Top

While Joule's ultimate may seem overpowered, it is always good to have synergy with the other friendly heroes.

GOD TIER
Ardan
I love playing with an Ardan support. natural tankiness, movespeed buffs, amazing ultimates. Doing bad? Wait for that god Ardan ult and just ult in. Garunteed at least two kills for your team.
Catherine
That Catherine who does well will come. Wait for stun and ult. Amazing synergy if you can chain the stuns. Especially good when against Taka and other slippery stuff.

Conclusion Top

Well done. You have read this guide. Urm.. You were expecting more?
Sorry if this guide is a little short. I play LoL too much, so sorry if you don't understand some terms.
Since you've read this, have fun wrecking some scrubs in late game. Make the enemy tank feel like a squishy and make their laners and squishy junglers feel like they are getting oneshot.
I'm still touching up on the guide, and I'm not done yet, so feel free to comment on how I can improve.
:)
