Your game plan as Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

How to beat Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

• 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
• 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
• 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.

1. 01Lady Geist out-farms Apollo by ~38.5 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Apollo looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Life Drain) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
