How Lash beats Rat King
Assassin vs Brawler
Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.
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.
