How it works
General
- You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
- Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
- You are gonna play Carry for your team.
How to play
General
- Build On-Hit items!
- Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
- Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
- If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
- If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
- If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
- You could get Statikk Shiv for fun and wave clear, but it is more difficult to use it as melee champion. Beware!
- Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
- You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
- Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
- You are an ultimate minion killer, thanks to your Bladesurge (Q). You can farm better than most champions. Use it for your advantage!
- Combo: You can cast Vanguard's Edge (R), then Flash forward to engage, catch unsuspecting enemies and damage them.
Riot
- Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
- Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
- Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.
