Notes

  1. Updated for 14.1 League of Legends Patch.

How to play

  1. You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
  2. Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  3. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  4. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  5. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You are an ultimate minion killer, thanks to your Q. You can farm better than most champions. Use it for your advantage!
  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.
