Early Game Top

You are a Assassin, doesn't matter which lane you decide to go on, you can hold off on your own on any map.
Recommendation: Mid lane

Tier 1 ability will allows you to harass the enemy for long period of time without needing to go to healing fountain. You can even hold off against 2 players but have to be careful. For this build I recommend farming in Mid lane, with Valla you can clear minions very very quickly do to her Multishot and Hungering arrow which bounces of the multiple targets. When enemy team feel like their team is losing their mid lane expect 2 v 1 in your lane if your team decides to push the other lane to throw the balance and coordination of the enemy team.

Once you hit level 7 Valla will become even more dangerous and be able chance down enemies that are running for their life( or while escaping form enemy player while dealing out damage).

level 10 Strafe will be very useful when enemy team is together, Strafe will make player break away from group allowing you to pick the kill with Q. Using Strafe you will have to be carefully because enemy team will become aggressive to stop Valla's ult.

Late Game Top

The focus of this build is bursting an enemy and killing them when they are away from their teammates or running away.

One extra advantage with this build is Valla can be a bait to pick a kill a low health.
(But be sure that you have enough mana to burst Q for each time you use vault)
(Remember Q's range and bounce is increase due to Puncturing Arrow(Tier 3) allowing you to hit from far range.)
