How it works
General
- You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
- Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
- You are gonna play Carry for your team.
How to play
General
- Build On-Hit items!
- Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
- 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.
- Default option, as it works well with you champ is Nashor's Tooth
- Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer, Statikk Shiv (fun & wave clear)
- You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
- Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
- You can Chain of Corruption (R), then Flash to catch unsuspecting enemies and to engage fights! It works forward, backward and sideways.
- You can start casting Piercing Arrow (Q) and Flash during casting to reach enemies that are super far away.
Riot
- An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
- During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
- Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.
