Win Condition
Identify the enemy's strongest carry and use to path around vision. Pick them off before objectives spawn, turning every major fight into a 5v4.
Playstyle
Stealth assassin and psychological predator. You spend most of the game invisible, stalking the backline and forcing the enemy to play in constant fear of a flank.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- + camouflage bypasses standard wards, making your pathing unpredictable.
- + provides massive magic resist shred, allowing you to one-shot tanks and bruisers.
- + is one of the best execute/disengage tools in the game, providing a 'get out of jail free' card.
- + health regeneration allows you to take a bad trade, wait 10 seconds, and return to the fight with enough HP to kill.
Weaknesses
- -Extremely weak before level 6; any competent jungler will try to invade and kill you early.
- -Heavily reliant on for safety. If it is on cooldown, you have no reliable way to escape a bad engage.
- -Control Wards and Scryer's Blooms are your worst enemies as they reveal your position through .
- -If you fall behind, you lack the damage to trigger 's execute threshold, making you effectively useless.
Abilities
Demon Shade is your core mechanic. After level 6, it grants camouflage. If you take damage or cast a spell, you're revealed. Use the out-of-combat healing to stay on the map instead of backing after every skirmish.
Hate Spike is your primary damage. Landing the first skillshot dart is mandatory—it marks the target so your next 3 spikes deal significantly more damage. It has a very low cooldown for clearing camps.
Allure is a mental warfare tool. Once cast, a heart fills over the target. If you hit them after 2.5s, they are charmed and lose Magic Resist. You don't always have to wait for the full cook; an early proc still slows the target.
Whiplash deals % max HP damage. When you enter , it becomes 'Empowered,' turning into a small dash that pulls you to the target. Use this to gap-close after a cook.
Last Caress is a massive AoE slash that deals double damage to enemies below 30% health. It teleports you backwards. Use it to execute targets and instantly blink over a wall to safety.
Teamfight Role
Backline Flanker
Never be the first one in. Wait for your team to engage, then loop behind the enemy to hit the ADC or Mid with . Use to kill them and escape simultaneously.
If the enemy has a hyper-carry diver (like Master Yi), stay near your own carry and use as a peeling tool to charm them mid-dash.
Combos
The Standard Assassination
-> wait for cook -> (to charm) -> -> spam ->
Your bread and butter for killing high-health targets. The MR shred from is essential for the kill.
The Instant Burst
-> -> spam ->
Used when the target is squishy enough to die without shred or when you don't have time to wait for the charm.
The Gap Closer
-> Flash -> (Empowered) -> ->
Use this when the enemy is retreating. The empowered dash combined with Flash covers a massive distance to proc the charm.
The Steal and Escape
(on objective) -> (over pit wall)
Use the high burst of + Smite to secure an objective, then immediately to blink out of the pit before the enemy can react.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 6 | You gain camouflage from and your execute in . This is when you actually become a champion. |
| Level 11 | damage increases significantly and its cooldown is reduced, allowing for more frequent picks. |
| Level 13 | Usually when both and are maxed, giving you your peak mid-game burst potential. |
| Level 16 | Max rank deals massive execute damage, making it almost impossible for squishies to survive if they are even slightly low. |
Tips & Tricks
- • points an arrow at you for the enemy to see once it's cooked—constantly move so they can't predict your angle of approach.
- •Empowered is a fixed-distance dash that follows the target. If they Flash exactly as you press , you will follow them through their Flash.
- •You can use to dodge critical spells like Karthus R or Veigar R because you briefly go untargetable.
- •If you don't need the charm, proc instantly with for a 65% slow to prevent them from walking away.
- •The spikes from prioritize the last target you auto-attacked or hit with the initial dart.
- •Check for Control Wards by watching your indicator; if the 'eye' opens but no champion is near, you are standing on a ward.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using at the start of a fight→You lose your execute damage and your only way to disengage, usually resulting in your death.
- ✕Tunnel-visioning on the full charm→The enemy has 2.5 seconds to reach their tower or teammates. Sometimes the slow is better than the charm.
- ✕Taking 1v1 fights pre-level 6→You will lose to almost every other jungler, setting your level 6 spike back by minutes.
- ✕Ignoring Control Wards→You walk into a bush thinking you're invisible, only to be instantly CC'd and killed by the entire enemy team.
- ✕Casting too early during a flank→It alerts the enemy you are nearby, allowing them to retreat before you are in range to proc it.
