Tips and Tricks

General

  2. Combo: You can cast R, then Flash forward to engage, catch unsuspecting enemies and damage them.
Riot
  1. Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
  2. Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
  3. Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.
