Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Proc your passive ring by stepping out of it between abilities for maximum trade damage in lane
  • 2.Shroud (W) restores energy — drop it during extended fights to sustain your spell rotation
  • 3.E (Shuriken Flip) can be reactivated to dash to marked targets even through walls
  • 4.Use R1 to engage and R2 to execute — the second cast is an execute that deals more damage to low-HP enemies
  • 5.In teamfights, wait for key cooldowns to be used before diving; premature engages without shroud are often fatal
