How to play

Trinity Force Build specific
  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. Are they heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. If you are not playing 'going-in' build like Tank or Bruiser, save Ixtal's Impact for escaping! You can play aggresive, then use it to run away to safety.
Riot
  1. Basic attacks apply Quaking. Stick to your target and re-apply it for maximum damage.
  2. Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
