Tips & Tricks
- •The delay on entering is much longer if you are taking damage; don't wait until you're at 10% HP to try and stealth away.
- • grants a tiny moment of vision when it hits; use it to check bushes without face-checking.
- •You can activate and then immediately start your Recall; you will finish the recall while invisible.
- • bolts are projectiles; they can be missed if the target has very high move speed and moves sideways.
- •Watch for the indicator over enemies' heads when you are in ; if it turns yellow or red, you are about to be seen.
- •Wait for the absolute last second to use to maximize the true damage from stacks ticking.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using too early in the fight→You lose your only source of burst damage and fail to secure the kill.
- ✕Opening with from too far away→Enemies simply walk out of range or behind a tower before you can finish them.
- ✕Ignoring the reset mechanic→You stay vulnerable after a kill instead of using the stealth to reposition or escape.
- ✕Front-lining without being in →You get engaged on and killed before you can contribute any damage to the teamfight.
- ✕Using while the enemy is already CC'd by someone else→You waste the slow duration and potentially miss out on stacking effectively later in the fight.
