How to play

General
  1. You build Lethality and play like AD caster.
  2. 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

General
  1. You can R, then Flash to catch unsuspecting enemies and to engage fights! It works forward, backward and sideways.
  2. You can start casting Q and Flash during casting to reach enemies that are super far away.
Riot
  1. An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
  2. During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
  3. Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.
