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 First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + Q + E + E. You can use R to go full in with Ignite as well!.
- Your alternate combo just for poke is First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + Q and run away. Or even E minion and run away.
Tips and Tricks
General
- Q Flash combo: You can do Q (can be done in any direction), and at the very end of animation you Flash into an enemy.
Riot
- A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
- Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
- Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.
