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. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. 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.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer, Statikk Shiv (fun & wave clear)
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

Champion

  1. Use E to prep before fights, to gain attack speed.
  2. Use R to peel from yourself, as you cannot really autoattack, so engaging with it rarely makes sense.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Keep track of your Electrical Surge (W) stacks. Once you have it fully stacked, you can very easily stun an enemy with auto attack + Thundering Shuriken (Q) + W combo. You can even pair it with Flash for very unexpected CC.

Riot

  1. You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.
  2. Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.
  3. You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.
