Gameplay Top

When using this build you need to lane A LOT early game to get marksman stacks. I try to jump between 2 lanes and get a lot of minions. The best idea is to find a lane with a tanky person and just farm minions for the first 5-10 minions then roam and kill.

I sneak behind people and use Singularity spike and cleave then activate berserk and shadow assault and just auto attack to death. I will usually pick people off and blink away to keep them dead and guessing where I am at.

If you get caught by the other team the easiest escape is to blink and then to use berserk to escape. You usually can get away but sometimes you cant :(
