Favorable Matchups

General Laning Tips

• 1.Use your passive death state to continue dealing damage in teamfights after dying.
• 2.Farm with isolated Q hits for the bonus damage and mana refund on last hits.
• 3.Time your Requiem ultimate when enemies are low after a teamfight for global kill pressure.
