Tips and Tricks

General
  1. 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
  1. A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  2. Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  3. Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.
