Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Stack Hemorrhage (passive) to five before using R — Noxian Guillotine deals true damage at max stacks.
  • 2.Q outer edge heals significantly; step back during trades to land the blade, not the handle.
  • 3.Use W as an auto-reset immediately after a basic attack for fast passive stacking.
  • 4.E (Apprehend) has a short range — Flash + E is your primary engage tool in teamfights.
  • 5.Ghost is essential for sticking to targets; pop it early in fights to chase down resets with R.
