Expert Tips

  • Never trade away from the stacks (Hemorrhage). Get all 5 passive stacks for the bleed damage before committing to a kill.
  • Apprehend (E) pull removes all gap-closing ability from your target. Use it when they Flash away, not preemptively.
  • Level 6 with Noxian Guillotine resets is your kill window. If you can proc all 5 stacks and reset the R twice, fights are yours.
