Abilities
Your auto-attacks deal a portion of their damage as bonus true damage. This makes you one of the best tank-shredding ADCs in the late game. Don't just rely on spells—keep autoing!
Lobs a bomb that deals magic damage and reveals the area. Use this to check brushes or reveal invisible champions. It has a slight travel time, so aim where they are going, not where they are.
Your only escape. It leaves a trail of fire, but don't use it for damage unless you're 100% safe. Use it to reposition over walls or away from divers.
Fires a cone of bullets that shreds Armor and Magic Resist. You must be facing the enemy for this to hit. It's your most important tool for winning 1v1s and helping your team kill tanks.
Your main poke. You store up to 7 missiles. Every 3rd one is a 'Big One' with more damage and a larger blast. Always keep track of your ammo count before a fight starts.
Teamfight Role
Long-range artillery and tank shredder.
Stay in the backline and spam . Use on whoever is closest to you (usually the enemy frontline) to reduce their resists and let your true damage melt them.
If you have a 'Big One' ready and see their mid or ADC out of position, you can briefly step up to burst them, but never at the cost of your .
Combos
Standard Trade
Auto -> -> Auto
The basic bread-and-butter for lane. Use the Q to reset your auto-attack rhythm slightly and maximize early burst.
The Resistance Shred
(hold) -> Auto -> ->
Keep on them while you weave in autos and spells. The shred makes your true damage and rockets hit way harder.
Big One Burst
(Big One) -> -> Auto ->
Lead with the Big One from distance to slow/chunk them, then follow up with your full kit as they try to recover.
The Safety Net
(away) -> (backwards) -> (on self)
When jumped, dash away immediately. Fire rockets and your bomb back at the location you just left to discourage the chase.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 6 | You unlock , allowing you to farm safely from range and poke the enemy ADC out of lane. |
| Level 11 | Rank 2 increases your poke damage significantly, and your shred starts to become noticeable. |
| Level 13 | Usually when is maxed. The flat resistance reduction is massive in mid-game skirmishes. |
| Level 16 | Max rank . Your 'Big Ones' can now take 30-40% of a squishy's HP in a single hit. |
