Abilities
Stone Skin gives you free armor and health regen that stacks while fighting. In the jungle, this keeps you healthy. In fights, it means you get harder to kill the longer the brawl lasts. Only works against physical damage and monsters.
Crushing Blow is an auto-attack reset that grants extra range and shreds armor. Always use this after an auto-attack. The armor shred is flat—hit the target with before you or your team commit big damage.
Warrior Trickster is your most versatile tool. It's a short dash plus invisibility. Your clone mimics your , , and . Use it to reposition or to double your ultimate's knockup area.
Nimbus Strike is your primary gap closer. It gives you an attack speed buff upon landing. In the jungle, use this to jump between camps. In ganks, save it until the enemy uses their dash if possible.
Cyclone is your win condition. It can be cast twice. Each cast knocks up enemies hit. Your clone also spins, allowing you to cover a massive portion of the screen with CC. You gain move speed while spinning.
Teamfight Role
Primary Engager / Backline Diver
Your job is to find a flank and use to disrupt as many people as possible. Focus on the ADC or Mid. Once your first ends, use the second cast to peel for your own carry or chase down survivors.
If your own carry is extremely fed and the enemy has a singular dive threat (like Zed or Talon), use purely to peel and keep your carry alive.
Combos
Standard Gank
→ Auto → → Auto
The basic trading pattern. Use to close the gap, then immediately auto and reset with for maximum burst.
Stealth Engage
(from brush) → → Auto → →
Use to close distance unseen, then dash in. The armor shred from makes your deal significantly more damage.
Double Cyclone Teamfight
→ → → → move →
The most effective way to disrupt. By using before , your clone also knocks up enemies, effectively doubling the radius of your CC.
The Fake Out
Press S (Stop Command) → Wait →
Standing still mimics the animation. Many players will stop attacking you, thinking you used stealth. Then, you actually use to escape or reposition.

Tips & Tricks
- • can be used to dash over very thin walls, like the back of the Dragon or Baron pits.
- •Always auto-attack before using to maximize damage per second; it's a perfect attack reset.
- •Your clone focuses whatever you last hit. If you a champion, the clone will focus them too.
- •You can cast again early to stop the spin if you need to use or to finish someone off.
- •In the jungle, hit the small monsters once to stack armor before focusing the large monster to take less damage.
- • sends out two extra clones to nearby targets; use this to clear multi-mob camps like Raptors or Krugs faster.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using without using first.→You miss out on the 10-30% armor reduction, making your ultimate deal significantly less damage.
- ✕Using too early during a gank.→You lose your only escape and outplay tool. If the enemy Jungler counter-ganks, you are a sitting duck.
- ✕Overestimating tankiness against AP champions.→ only gives armor. Mages like Syndra or Leblanc will one-shot you if you dive without a plan.
- ✕Casting both charges back-to-back on the same target immediately.→You waste the crowd control duration. Space the casts out to maximize the time the enemy is airborne.
- ✕Ignoring your clone's positioning during .→The clone spins where you cast . If you move too far away, you lose half your AOE disruption potential.
