How to play

General

  1. You build Lethality and wait for a moment to strike enemy squishes.
  2. Snowball / Mark is a crucial cooldown for playing this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  3. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.
  4. Spectral Cutlass trick - use Spectral Cutlass, go in, then hit Mark in point blank range, Spectral Cutlass out and go in with Mark again!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Use Alpha Strike (Q) to poke enemies standing near minions — the ability will bounce to nearby targets, letting you harass safely from a distance. Works with your Wuju Style (E) as well as with On-Hit items!
  2. By using Q on a dying minion — if the minion dies mid-cast - you won't teleport. This can be useful to baiting enemies as well as dishing out some poke with Q.
  3. Alpha Strike (Q) can be used to escape by targeting nearby minions or enemies — you're untargetable during the cast, which can help dodge key skill shots or buy time for cooldowns and allies.

Riot

  1. If you're in a lane against ranged players, leveling up Meditate can allow you to stay in the lane longer and gain levels faster than they will.
  2. Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.
  3. Try using Alpha Strike on a minion in front of an enemy champion so you are placed at a safe distance at the end of the spell.
