• 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 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).
