How it works
AP Build specific
- You rush Hextech Rocketbelt #1, Liandry's Torment #2.
- You get Cosmic Insight rune to use Hextech Rocketbelt more often.
- You poke with Hextech Rocketbelt and First Strike to earn gold and burn enemies.
- After core items, you adapt. You can play as a tank or as a damage dealer.
How to play
AP Build specific
- Use Hextech Rocketbelt active to poke your enemies all the time, earning gold with First Strike.
- Adapt to the enemy team. Build tanky or more damage. You can play as a utility tank, poke, or even you can go some AD items to still have plenty of damage. Depends on the team and how you want to play.
- For utility tank, remember that Liandry's Torment works good with Serpent's Fang (to counter shields) and Oblivion Orb (to counter healing).
- Cosmic Insight reduces cooldown of all active items, so Zhonya's Hourglass really works well with this build.
- Wait for the First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
- Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
- Your main combo is precast W + First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + E + Q.
- Your alternate combo just for poke is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt.
Tips and Tricks
Riot
- Lead the charge and mark your foes with Sunlight before your allies deal damage.
- Shield of Daybreak and Zenith Blade form a powerful offensive combo.
- You can absorb a huge amount of damage using Eclipse, but you must stay near enemies to gain the bonus duration.
