How to play

General

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  3. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  4. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  5. Depending on enemy team, you can max Q or W. Q for damage, W for more survivability.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can be pretty good at peeling from your Team or Carries. Enemy has Fiddlesticks? Maybe Zed that jumps on your Ashe? Just ult them with your Realm of Death (R).

Riot

  1. Offense is your defense. Keep fighting to build up larger Indestructible shields.
  2. Hitting multiple champions with the same ability can help quickly activate Darkness Rise.
  3. Use Realm of Death on a low health enemy to guarantee the kill and keep their stats for the rest of a teamfight.
