Abilities
Your Critical Strikes deal bonus magic damage. This means you don't need Armor Pen as early as other ADCs. Prioritize 100% crit chance to ensure every auto triggers this magic damage boost.
This is your primary steroid. It grants Attack Speed and on-hit damage, but the 'spread' mechanic is the star. In lane, hit the melee minions to splash damage onto the enemy ADC. In teamfights, hit the closest target to melt the backline behind them.
Base form is a slow for kiting. Transcendent form (during ) turns into a laser. Use the laser to slow fleeing enemies from long range or to check bushes safely.
Base form gives Move Speed and Ghosting—perfect for dodging skillshots or rotating. During , it becomes a dash. Save this dash for dodging key CC abilities like Malphite ult or Leona E.
Your transformation. It upgrades your kit and is your 'fight' button. Do not start a fight without this unless you are significantly ahead. The mobility and utility upgrade is what keeps you alive.
Teamfight Role
AOE Tank-Shredder and Cleanup
Stay in the backline. Use to hit the most accessible target while the spread damage hits others. Use to unlock your dash for repositioning as the fight evolves.
If the enemy has a hyper-carry like Jinx or Twitch, you can use and to dive them if your team provides a secondary engage.
Combos
Standard Lane Poke
-> -> Auto-attack
Slow them with the bead so you can safely move into range to proc empowered autos.
Transcendent All-In
-> (Dash) -> -> (Laser)
Transform, dash into optimal range to maximize splash, and use the laser to prevent them from kiting away.
The Long-Range Catch
-> ->
Use the Transcendent laser to slow a priority target from distance, then use the dash to close the gap.
Defensive Disengage
-> -> (if needed)
Drop the slow bead, use the move speed and ghosting to path through minions, and only commit if they use a gap closer.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 2 | Having both and allows you to win short trades if the enemy overextends. |
| Level 6 | Unlocks , giving you the dash on and the laser on for much higher kill pressure. |
| Level 11 | Reduced cooldown on means you can take more frequent skirmishes. |
| Level 16 | Max rank provides massive uptime, making you nearly impossible to catch in late-game fights. |
Tips & Tricks
- • in base form makes you Ghosted; use this to ignore minion collision for unexpected angles
- •The splash damage from can crit because of , making it lethal against squishies standing near tanks
- •Don't immediately dash with after pressing ; save the dash to dodge a specific threat
- •The laser in Transcendent state has a slight windup; lead your target more than you would with the base bead
- •Check for magic damage numbers to see if the enemy is building MR or Armor; adjust your target priority accordingly
- •You can cast during the dash to be ready to fire the moment you arrive
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using as an engage tool in base form→You have no dash to escape once the enemy Jungler or Support retaliates
- ✕Activating too late→You might get burst down before the transformation completes or before you can use the dash
- ✕Ignoring the splash positioning→You lose roughly 40% of your potential teamfight damage by only hitting a single target
- ✕Building Lethality instead of Crit→You completely waste the bonus magic damage scaling from
- ✕Using laser on a target that is already CC'd→You waste the slow duration and your only long-range finishing tool
