How it works

General
  1. You use your R frequently, thanks to Axiom Arc cooldown reduction.
  2. You try to use your Rs with First Strike, to boost damage and earn gold.
  3. Liandry's Torment works with Axiom Arc (bigger window of R cooldown reduction because of burn effects).

How to play

General
  1. Rush #1 Liandry's Torment, #2 Axiom Arc.
  2. You can use R just to poke enemies. 100+ gold First Strike ensured!
  3. Usually wait for First Strike and proc it with your R. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
  4. Late in the game, you can sell boots and go for sixth AP item.
  5. The Collector works surprisingly well with DoTs. You can buy it if you are ahead or want to test this out.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can Body Slam (E), then Flash to do cool combo and catch unsuspecting enemies!
  2. You can Body Slam (E), then Flash forward, backward or even sideways, and you will still hit the enemy at the end of animation.
Riot
  1. The damage reduction from Drunken Rage is applied when you start drinking, try to use it when you see damage coming your way.
  2. Try to knock enemies back into your towers with Explosive Cask.
  3. Try to combo Body Slam with Explosive Cask to set up kills for your team.
