Playstyle Your Q-ability is a two-part combo where you dash in a targeted direction, dealing damage. Using the ability again will perform another dash, knocking enemies into the air while putting the spell on a 7-second cooldown, while not doing so will let you reuse the first part after 2 seconds. To maximize damage output, only use the first part; the second part is better for interrupting or finishing off a target. The W-ability is another dash that has three damage instances. It lets you pass through a group of targets and deal damage nearby. so you can deal the full amount of damage to your targets. If you hit a player, they will be dragged with you. To maximize damage, aim near your current location, dealing damage in a concentrated area. Aiming further away will let you travel further but spread the damage. Your main ability is a two-part combo. First, you levitate, becoming immune to crowd control. Then you can recast to dive towards a targeted area, dealing damage across a wide area. This is a good opener, as you can hit a group of enemies while they’re idle. Your auto-attacks can further boost your damage. The first passive “Fatal Fury” increases your damage for every auto-attack. Since gloves have a high attack speed you can fit a few attacks between your abilities to elevate your damage output. The cowl has an additional damage spell to quickly take down groups. The jacket can regain health. It’s best used in combination with your weapon abilities if they can hit multiple targets, or when auto-attacking an enemy for a few seconds. Your boots have a sprint ability that can regain a small amount of health quickly while providing increased speed. An encounter should look something like this: Use your E to levitate, then recast to dive towards the target(s). Use the first part of your Q to deal damage. Use your W to apply additional damage. Alternate between using your first Q and auto attacks. Use your jacket when below 60% health, ideally in combination with area spells against groups or auto attacks against single enemies. If energy becomes an issue, try switching to Cloth Sandals for Energetic Sprint.
