Your game plan as Lady Geist

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

How to beat Drifter

A stalker who marks a target and then makes sure no one can save them.

• 01Stay with your team; Eternal Night isolates people who are already alone.
• 02Cleanse or out-heal Stalker’s Mark bleed rather than running.
• 03Peel for whoever he marks.

1. 01Lady Geist out-farms Drifter by ~44.4 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Drifter 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.
