YOUR GAME PLAN

0 items

Do not go in alone. You will die. Do not stay up front. You will die. Do not die. The enemy will notice you're easy prey and you will die. Zigzag farming up in pushed lanes, then fly off when you're needed. You will generally have low soul value but high game impact, meaning dying at least doesn't reward the enemy too much. Understand the range of your Rescue Beam. Use your active items during your ult. Enjoy the warm fuzzies when people thank you. When you get Tesla Bullets, shoot them at any range like the annoying rat you are. Be mindful of what to buy or sell first.
