Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

Your game plan as Lash

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

Lane
Ground Strike from the air for damage. Flog heals you.
Mid game
Grapple resets air jumps and dashes, so use it to reach targets no one else can.
Late game
Death Slam lifts and stuns everyone you connect to, then slams them. Grab as many as you can.

  • 02Track Brew’s cycle. Don’t fight inside the puddle when it’s about to silence.
  • 03Pressure Baba early, before Threadsap snowballs her Spirit.
