How it works

General
  1. You rush Hextech Rocketbelt #1, Liandry's Torment #2.
  2. You get Cosmic Insight rune to use Hextech Rocketbelt more often.
  3. You poke with Hextech Rocketbelt and First Strike to earn gold and burn enemies.
  4. After core items, you adapt. You can play as a tank or as a damage dealer.

How to play

General
  1. Use Hextech Rocketbelt active to poke your enemies all the time, earning gold with First Strike.
  2. Adapt to the enemy team. Build tanky or more damage. You can play as a utility tank, poke, or even you can go some AD items to still have plenty of damage. Depends on the team and how you want to play.
  3. For utility tank, remember that Liandry's Torment works good with Serpent's Fang (to counter shields) and Oblivion Orb (to counter healing).
  4. Cosmic Insight reduces the cooldown of all active items, so Zhonya's Hourglass really works well with this build.
  5. Wait for the First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
  6. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
  7. Your main combo is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + W + Q + E + Ignite and run away.
  8. Your optional combo is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + Q.
  9. You can do pretty cool combos with your ultimate as well. First Strike + R + W + Q + E + Ignite and run away.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.
  2. Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.
  3. If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.
