Gives you a massive attack speed boost for 5 seconds after casting any spell. Every third hit deals AOE magic damage. In the jungle, space out your abilities to keep the attack speed up constantly; don't dump all spells at once.
Fires a curved bolt. It provides vision of the area and marks enemies with Moonlight. This is your most important spell; missing this means you lose your mobility and your damage setup.
Creates three spheres and a shield. If all spheres explode, the shield refreshes and gets stronger. Use this as you are mid-dash with to mitigate the damage you'll take upon arrival.
A dash that deals damage. If the target has Moonlight from , the cooldown is instantly refreshed. You can dash to a marked target, and even if you didn't click them, it clears the mark from everyone nearby.
Pulls all nearby enemies toward you and slows them. After a short delay, it deals massive damage. This damage scales up based on how many enemy champions you caught in the initial pull. Use this when you can hit at least 2 or 3 people for maximum impact.

Tips & Tricks
- •'s arc is always clockwise. Aim slightly to the left of your target to hit them with the tip of the bolt.
- •You can cast before the projectile actually hits. If the lands while you are mid-air, you still get the reset.
- •Always try to land on the monster's hitbox in the jungle to ensure all three spheres pop instantly for the shield refresh.
- • cleave deals extra damage to monsters; count your autos and make sure the third hit lands when the monster is at its highest HP.
- •Use to cancel enemy channels like Katarina R or Nunu R; the pull acts as a displacement.
- •If you miss , do not use unless you are 100% sure you will get the kill. If you go in and it doesn't reset, you will die.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using too early→If you dash before marks the target, you lose the reset and are stuck in the middle of the enemy team with no way out.
- ✕Spamming all abilities at once while clearing→You waste the duration of the attack speed buff, making your jungle clear much slower.
- ✕Using on only one person in a teamfight→The damage scales with targets hit; using it on one person is a waste of your most powerful tool.
- ✕Diving without ready→You are surprisingly squishy; without the double shield from , you will likely be bursted before damage lands.
- ✕Forgetting that gives vision→You lose the chance to scout bushes safely or dash to jungle camps for an easy escape path.
