JunglePatch 16.2.1
What They Do
A high-sustain duelist and jungler who excels at hunting low-health targets. He heals massively when low on HP and uses movement speed to collapse on skirmishes. He's a 1v1 king but struggles against heavy kiting and burst.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| On-hit magic damage and healing | healing triples when he is below 25% HP. Never assume he is 'dead' just because he's low; he will out-sustain you in a prolonged auto-attack fight. | |
| A lunging bite | Deals % max HP damage and heals him. If he holds the key, he latches onto you and follows any movement, including Flashes, Dashes, or TPs. Save your escape for AFTER the bite ends. | |
| Red blood trails on the ground | He gains massive Move Speed toward and Attack Speed against targets below 50% HP. If you are low, he knows where you are and can cross the map in seconds. Recall early. | |
| A howling aura with damage reduction | He takes significantly less damage for 2.5s before fearing everyone nearby. Do not blow your burst or Ultimates while is active; wait for the roar to end. | |
| A long-range leap and suppression | A suppress that heals him for all damage dealt. The leap distance scales with his Move Speed. It can be intercepted by teammates or cancelled by hard CC like stuns/silences. |
Respect
- !Low-health baiting→Between and , his effective HP is much higher than it looks. He wins 1v1s when both players are at 20% HP every single time.
- !The Latch→If you Flash while he is holding , he will travel with you. You've just wasted Flash and he's still in your face.
- !Early 1v1 Dominance→He is one of the strongest level 3 duelists in the game. Do not contest him at Scuttle unless you have clear lane priority or a massive lead.
- !Blood Hunt Collapse→ gives him enough speed to turn a 1v1 in a side lane into a 1v2 before you can finish your kill.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (15s early)→He is surprisingly squishy without his damage reduction. If he wastes to clear a camp or misses the fear, he is a primary target for an all-in.
- +Missed →The ultimate is a skillshot. If he misses, he usually ends up deep in your team with no easy way out. Collapse on him immediately while his sustain is tied to single-target autos.
- +Pre-Tiamat Clear→His multi-target clear (Raptors/Krugs) is terrible early. Invade his weak camps or out-farm him by focusing on your own high-efficiency pathing.
- +Kiting with Slows/Roots→He has no innate way to stick to targets other than running at them. Use slows to negate his move speed and keep him at arm's length.
Laning Tips
- •Do not stay in the jungle or lane if you are below 50% HP; you give him a free map-wide MS buff via .
- •Rush Grevious Wounds (Bramble Vest/Executioner's) as your first component. It is mandatory to beat his healing.
- •When he uses , stop attacking and just walk away or CC him. Don't waste your main damage spells into his 35-55% damage reduction.
- •If you see the red trail from , he's coming for you. Ping your team and get to a tower immediately.
- •He struggles to gank lanes with heavy displacement. If you play a champ with a knockback, save it for his lunge.
- •Ward his jungle entrances. Since he moves so fast with , standard river wards often give you too little reaction time.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Bodyblock his . If you are a tank, stand in front of your carries so he suppresses you instead of the ADC.
- ⚠Save a hard CC (Stun/Knockup) specifically to cancel his the moment he lands it on an ally.
- ⚠Focus fire is key. Because of , he can survive at 10% HP for a long time if only one person is hitting him. Burst him down together.
- ⚠Don't group too tightly when his is active, or he will fear your entire team at once.
- ⚠He will try to flank using the speed from . Keep deep wards behind your team during objective dances.
