Trinket:$on hitting an enemy 8ith the @lash the enemy 8ill be disabled ;same

thing that ha$$ens 8hen you &ody s8a$ someone< @or about ) second I@ you

success@ully manage to disable someone 8ith the @lash you can use that second to

start o@@ a combo Ta# =< ! =< %1B is the combo here his is $ossible because

#hado8sli$ is available u$on using your trinket

his is ho8ever only recommended 8hen the o$$onent has no trinket because youcan get daed by the trinket and @urther on chased and as you dont have your

trinket at this $oint9 it $uts you in a really bad s$ot


48/69

Cancel %ot+s !+ry

he same 8ay you can cancel #8i@tste$ I@ you see your enemy using abilities into

your animation9 $ress / @or a @ree re-stealth

In #in mirrors its a kno8n techniVue to / the last animation o@ otus (ury- try toFust cancel yours by sto$$ing at +D,

(+nishin$ Techs

We have a cou$le o@ di@@erent abilities to $unish enemy echs

+(+ #hado8 #lash is an amaing tool @or tech $unish - you have to s$end + though

() o@ our 4ine tree is also a great tool

#hado8 #te$ ! ime &omb are nice as 8ell9 but have to be thought about in

advance

Another9 more tricky one9 is your ea@ #hi@t a@ter a ech9 you $roc it via 5ecoy

Generally s$eaking9 it is a better idea to use the other skills because it has the

highest ram$ u$ time

i!ra)in$ Trinkets

In our conventional )==-= combo9 try to / a@ter the ku9 3olley9 Web9 4oths and

In@iltrate 4ost rinkets are used here9 either be@ore the use o@ ightning .od or

even be@ore that Another common rinket usage is ;considering your o$$onent

kno8s you s$eced that< right a@ter your C #tun9 because it is our longest stun ! hasa longer cooldo8n than ightning .od9 but they $ay 8ith health @or it

E$ener

Aggressive &4s 8ill try to instantly $entaslash you9 this is best avoided by running

back8ards D side8ays9 Fum$ing and then gliding Putting do8n @lo8er 8hile gliding is

a solid choice here9 risk is basically non eistent

Ebviously + $oints into the instant-stealth smokebomb is amaing ! by @ar the

sa@est I@ you @eel con@ident9 @eel @ree to use the glide L 4oths against them9

disabling their de@enses9 giving you a @ree &ody #8a$

Another o$ener you 8ill see @rom &4s is their $ull Its a thro8 and classi@ied as

$roFectile - i@ you @eelB hes going to do it - either #mokebomb or ## it Wood &lock

8ill not 8ork9 because it $ierces de@ense

Passive ! de@ensive &4s 8ill 8ait @or their $entaslash to be used in in di@@erent

situation and 8ill Fust $lay the 8aiting game9 standing at the s$a8ning $oint or go

back into a corner - Fust be $atient as 8ell

&e care@ul on using &link #te$9 &lade 4asters have their 3 ;(lock o@ &lades< to

knockback9 greatly $unishing you

Aggressive &4s 8ill al8ays try to stay in your @ace9 using &lock in bet8een9 trying to

a$$ly as much $ressure as $ossible Its a good idea to use 4oths here Additionally9

make sure your @lo8er has )==S u$time

he other a$$roach is that they try to $lay it slo8 hey 8ait @or you to blo8 ##9

&ody #8a$ and Woodblock &e $re$ared to get blocked 8hen trying to lea@ shi@t out

o@ ## or Woodblock sing 4oths here is a great baiting mechanic @or their ##9 i@

they let it Fust a@@ect them9 its your time to attack

Another great counter is to sim$ly In@iltrate them @rom the @ront i@ you see them

blocking9 @ollo8ed u$ by .& ;Guard &reak

E$ener

Charge E$ener can be avoided by gliding or s$amming /

heir aerial o$ener 8ill almost al8ays be their thro8 that $ulls you in9 i@ you kno8

your enemy ! their $lan you can use the #$ace U &ody s8a$ U #$ace trick to negate

that You might still get $ulled9 being behind him he decoy bet8een gliding 8orks

as 8ell9 avoiding incoming damage and stealthing As it sho8s you in my build I am

running +(+ #mokebomb to avoid any $ossible harm done to me

Heutral Game

Eur neutral game is etremely strong against 5estroyers9 theirs is one o@ the

8eakest in the game #mokebomb *(* or +(* can be used to i@rame their thro89 /

s$am negates their Charge and &ody s8a$ is almost a sa@e bet against 5es9 unless

you &ody s8a$ into a red s$in

Your kd #hado8 #lash is also another chance @or you to counter their s$inning9 due

to the @act that #$ins do not grant kd immunity I $ersonally dont like the current

one9 because the range is very lo8 and a + $oints investment is Vuite huge

4id-Dategame

heir battle $lan could beM 7igh aggression9 cornering usD$ushing us against 8allsa@ter a grab Persistence ;&lue &u@@< is also a solid choice against #ins Ice 4ine can

counter that $lan $retty 8ell9 because it gives you time to breathe I $ersonally love

to $lay thro8ing mine here ! $lay the +4inute 8aiting game

ry $laying 8ith their $atience using @ull duration stealths near them ;not too close

to get hit by #$ins9 not too @ar to still be able to initiate


54/69

Al8ays use (lo8er over rinket9 sim$ly because its a lo8er cooldo8n

I@ he @orces you into a situation 8here your (lo8er ! ab is on cd - make sure to /

his charges heir thro8 has a rather slo8 and $redictable animation to be

countered by either ## or smokebombing it

&e care@ul on $unish commitment - i@ your esca$es are on cd they might Fust $o$

Persistence and blo8 you out o@ the 8ater

Its very rare that 8ell use our rinket on Grab - 8hile they have us in a good

$osition @or them ! 8ill most likely $ut is 8ith the back against the 8all 9 8ait @or

dro$ combo and get one big stun cd 8ith your trinket or maybe even redDblue bu@@9

counter all $iledriver attem$ts @rom grab ;animation has a big 8indu$ and itQs easy

to time against9 donQt con@use it 8ith his grab s$in 8indu$= seconds cooldo8n
