How Apollo beats Vindicta

Assassin vs Marksman

You want the marksman isolated and close. Flank, use your gap-closer, and finish before they can reposition.

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 Vindicta

  • 01Stay healthy; Assassinate punishes low HP.
  • 02Pull her down: hard CC ends Flight.
  • 03Dive her; she’s fragile on the ground.
