How it works

General
  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Good first items are BoTRK, Kraken Slayer or Terminus.
  2. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
  3. Wit's End has really weird scaling, it starts being good around level 11. Before 11, it has really low On-Hit damage.
  4. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Keep track of your Passive! It can be used for securing cannon minions, harass enemies or score kills.
  2. You can place your traps (W) in bushes for bush control.
Riot
  1. Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
  2. Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
  3. Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.
