Lash vs Calico

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 Calico

A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.

• 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
• 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
• 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.

1. 01Lash out-farms Calico by ~17.8 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Calico 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.
