How it works

General

  1. You play as Mage building Burn items.
  2. You rush Liandry's Torment.
  3. You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.

Champion

  1. Your Ghouls from Shepherd of Souls (Passive) procs Liandry's Torment and Blackfire Torch items and Arcane Comet rune.
  2. Your Maiden from Eulogy of the Isles (R) procs Malignance.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Yorick build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
  4. An enemy team has an extremely strong shielding? You can get Serpent's Fang to counter it. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
  5. They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
  6. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
  7. If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Your Dark Procession (W) knocks aside, applying CC briefly if you hit enemy directly with it. You can even use to interrupt enemy abilities!

Riot

  1. You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.
  2. The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.
  3. You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.
