Lash vs Drifter

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 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. 01Lash out-farms Drifter by ~8.1 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 (Flog) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
