Abilities
Manage your Fury bar. At 50+ Fury, your next ability is empowered. Your goal is to enter every trade with at least 40-50 Fury. Attacks generate more Fury when you are below 50% HP, helping you turn fights while low.
Your main sustain and waveclear. Hit as many targets as possible to maximize healing. When empowered, the heal is tripled. Use this to win wars of attrition in lane.
Resets your auto-attack timer. The empowered version breaks damage shields (like Sterak's or Lulu R) instantly and doubles the stun duration. Always prioritize empowering this if you need to lock someone down or burst them.
A double dash if you hit an enemy (champion, minion, or monster). The first dash (Slice) must hit a target to unlock the second (Dice). Empowered Dice shreds the target's armor, making it better than empowered Q against tanks.
Gives instant HP and generates Fury every second. Do not wait until you are 10% HP to use this; use it the moment an all-in starts to maximize the Fury generation and aura damage.
Teamfight Role
Diver / Frontline Disruptor
You are not a primary tank. You should look for 'flank' angles to reach the backline. Use early to soak damage and build Fury, then use your mobility to sit on the enemy carries.
If your own ADC is extremely fed and the enemy has a master assassin, stay back and use to peel for your carry instead of diving.
Combos
Standard Lane Trade
-> Auto -> -> ->
Dash in, auto-reset with W, Q for sustain/damage, then dash back out before they can trade back. Ideally do this with 50 Fury for the empowered W.
Fast Fury Burst
-> -> Auto -> ->
If you start at 40 Fury, use E into the wave to hit 50, then use the empowered Q or W depending on if you need health or lock-down.
The One-Shot All-In
-> -> Auto -> -> -> Auto -> -> Auto
Pre-cast R for Fury. Use the second E to follow their Flash or dash. Weaving autos is critical for maximizing damage.
The Shield Breaker
-> Empowered -> ->
Specifically saved for targets with massive shields. Empowered W deletes the shield before the damage and stun are applied.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 2 | If you have 50 Fury and take or second, you can Ignite and kill most top laners if they overextend. |
| Level 3 | You have your full kit. You can now Dash in, stun, and dash out for 'zero-damage taken' trades. |
| Level 6 | makes you nearly impossible to 1v1 and provides the Fury needed to chain multiple empowered abilities. |
| Level 11 | Second point in and maxed makes you a mid-game monster in 2v2 and 3v3 skirmishes. |
Tips & Tricks
- •You can cancel the animation of by using or Tiamat/Ravenous Hydra immediately after the hit.
- • can go through many walls; use it to steal enemy jungle camps or escape over the Baron/Dragon pits.
- •If you have 45 Fury, using through a champion will put you over 50, allowing the second part of your combo to be empowered.
- •Always try to use when standing in the middle of a minion wave for maximum healing.
- •Your counts as multiple hits, instantly procing Press the Attack or fully stacking Conqueror very quickly.
- •When being dove, wait for the enemy to take tower aggro, then use empowered to lock them under the tower while keeps you alive.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using without hitting a target→You lose your second dash and are left with an 18-second window where you are an easy target for a gank.
- ✕Wasting 50 Fury on during an all-in→You lose the 1.5s stun from empowered , often allowing the enemy to Flash away or out-play you.
- ✕Waiting until you are very low HP to cast →You die during the cast animation or before the Fury generation can help you turn the fight.
- ✕Fighting in lane with zero Fury→You lose trades even against weaker champions because your base damages are balanced around your Fury mechanic.
- ✕Grouping too early without a lead→You lose your only advantage (level/item lead) and become a 'stun-bot' that gets melted by the enemy team.
