How to play

General

  1. You build Lethality and wait for a moment to strike enemy squishes.
  2. Trinity Force is very viable item. You can get it as #2 or #3. Thing is, it costs lots of gold. If you want to play Lethality fantasy build, you can buy Sheen as cheaper option.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Always try stacking your Siphoning Strike (Q), even if you are playing very unusual builds like AP or Support. It's gonna help with farming, emergency damage or when pushing turret.
  2. Your Siphoning Strike (Q) resets auto. Try weaving it: auto - Q - auto. This maximizes damage output (especially important to push turrets faster).
  3. Want to push turrets even faster? Use your Fury of the Sands (R) to reduce your Q cooldown and weave-Q spam to destroy turret quicker.
  4. Usually spam your Wither (W) on enemy carries, it is a great catching tool.
  5. You can use Fury of the Sands (R) before taking portal (frost-gate). You will be damaging everyone on your path during travel. Especially effective, if you are playing AP #champion build!

Riot

  1. Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
  2. If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.
  3. If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.
