How Apollo beats Silver
Assassin vs Brawler
Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.
Your game plan as Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
Lane
Poke with Disengaging Sigil and use its leap to dodge trades. Save Riposte for a predictable incoming ability.
Mid game
Flank fights and look for heroes who blow their cooldowns early; Flawless Advance chains lunges into a kill.
Late game
Itani Lo Sahn is a long-range lockdown that also stops healing. Use it on the enemy carry or healer to open the fight.
How to beat Silver
A feral long-range fighter who gets more dangerous the closer she gets to death.
- 01Burst her from high health. Chipping her down only makes her more dangerous.
- 02Dodge the bola; without it she can’t stop you escaping.
- 03Kill her before she can trigger Lycan Curse.
