Abilities
Vitals appear on enemies. Hit them for % max HP true damage and a heal. If a Vital is in a bad spot (like behind the enemy), walk away until it disappears and comes back in a new spot to reset it.
Your primary tool. It prioritizes Vitals and low-HP units. Hitting an enemy refunds 50% of the cooldown. Use it to poke, dodge skillshots, or pop Vitals quickly.
Blocks ALL damage and CC for 0.75s. If you block 'hard' CC like stuns or roots, the return stab stuns the enemy. Even if you do not block CC, the slow and attack speed cripple is massive for winning trades.
An auto-attack reset. The first hit slows, the second always crits. Great for popping Vitals quickly or shredding towers. Always use it right after a standard auto-attack to maximize DPS.
Reveals 4 Vitals. Hitting all 4 or the target dying after at least 1 hit creates a massive heal zone. The move speed you get while near the target is vital for maneuvering around them to hit every side.
Teamfight Role
Cleanup or Flank.
Wait for major CC to be blown, then flank the backline. Pop on a high-priority target to get the heal zone for your team. You are a duelist, not a frontline tank.
If your carry is getting dove by a tank, you can the tank to shred them quickly and provide the heal field for your backline.
Combos
Short Poke
to Vital -> first hit -> walk back
Safe lane harassment. The move speed from and the slow from ensures they cannot trade back effectively while you move away.
All-in Burst
-> mid-dash -> Auto -> ->
Standard kill combo. Procing mid-dash lets you start hitting Vitals immediately. Use to block their desperate CC or high-damage spells.
The 4-Vital Fast Pop
-> North -> Auto West -> South -> Flash East
The fastest way to proc . Requires high speed and precise movement between attacks to hit all four sides in under 2 seconds.
Parry Slide
-> mid-dash
Use this to slide into a predictable CC (like a trap or skillshot) to guarantee a stun on the target you are lunging toward.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | poke is oppressive against most melee champions if you keep hitting Vitals for heals. |
| Level 2 | Unlocking means you can win trades against champions with telegraphed CC or high-impact abilities. |
| Level 6 | gives you massive kill pressure. You can now dive many opponents if they are below 60% HP. |
| Level 11 | Rank 2 and maxed makes you nearly impossible to 1v1 in a side lane. |
| Level 16 | Max rank scaling ensures you can shred even the tankiest 6-item champions with raw true damage. |
Tips & Tricks
- •If a Vital is in a hard-to-reach spot, walk out of vision range and back in to reset its position.
- •You can over many thin walls in the jungle to escape or surprise enemies.
- • reduces the target's attack speed by 50%. Use this against auto-attackers even if they don't have CC.
- •The second hit crit works on towers. Use it to take plates extremely fast.
- •You can cast while mid-lunge with to proc Vitals while being immune to damage.
- •Your heal duration depends on how many Vitals you hit. Hit all 4 for the maximum 5-second heal.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Missing entirely→The cooldown does not reset, leaving you immobile and defenseless for 10+ seconds.
- ✕Using just for damage→You lose your only defensive tool. Good players will wait for to end and then dump their CC on you.
- ✕Trying to pop vitals when they are against a wall→If an enemy hugs a wall, you cannot hit that Vital. Wait for them to move or use to find an angle.
- ✕Forcing 5v5 front-to-back fights→You often get blown up before you can pop all four vitals. Stay in the side lane.
- ✕Ignoring the wave to chase Vitals→You will take too much minion damage early game and lose the lane despite 'winning' the trade.
