How it works

General

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General

  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • You could get Statikk Shiv for fun and wave clear, but it is more difficult to use it as melee champion. Beware!
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

Tips and Tricks

Alpha Strike (Q)

  1. You can use Alpha Strike (Q) to drop turret's aggro. That's very important during dives!
  2. Use Alpha Strike (Q) to poke enemies standing near minions — the ability will bounce to nearby targets, letting you harass safely from a distance. Works with your Wuju Style (E) as well as with On-Hit items!
  3. By using Q on a dying minion — if the minion dies mid-cast - you won't teleport. This can be useful to baiting enemies as well as dishing out some poke with Q.
  4. Alpha Strike (Q) can be used to escape by targeting nearby minions or enemies — you're untargetable during the cast, which can help dodge key skill shots or buy time for cooldowns and allies.

Wuju Style (E)

  1. If you are sure you are gonna hit someone with Q, you can activate Wuju Style (E) mid-flight for additional poke damage.

Riot

  1. If you're in a lane against ranged players, leveling up Meditate can allow you to stay in the lane longer and gain levels faster than they will.
  2. Wuju Style is very strong early for last hitting minions.
  3. Try using Alpha Strike on a minion in front of an enemy champion so you are placed at a safe distance at the end of the spell.
