Lash vs Apollo

Assassin vs Assassin

Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.

Your game plan as Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

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. 01Farm is close (+4.2 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
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 (Flog) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
