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.
Nilah Lethality specific
  1. The idea behind this build is to use Q often and go in for the kill with R if possible.
  2. With enough CDR and Spear of Shojin, you can get your Q to ~1.8 sec cooldown.
  3. Do not be afraid of selling boots for 6th item.
