How it works

Champion

  1. This is a poke oriented build. You play around ranged Q trying to hit enemies. You go AD, Lethality and Ability Haste and use Q as often as possible.

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.

Champion

  1. If an enemy team is also poke oriented and play from afar, you might have a hard time hitting your range Q. You need to adapt to the game. Look for opportunities and go in.
  2. When fighting in melee range, don't use second Q to throw rock. You are going to do more damage by autoattacking.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. If you are not playing 'going-in' build like Tank or Bruiser, save Ixtal's Impact (E) for escaping! You can play aggressive, then use it to run away to safety.

Riot

  1. Basic attacks apply Quaking. Stick to your target and re-apply it for maximum damage.
  2. Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
