How Silver beats McGinnis
Brawler vs Mystic
Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.
Your game plan as Silver
A feral long-range fighter who gets more dangerous the closer she gets to death.
Lane
Slam Fire reloads instantly and deals bonus damage based on target health.
Mid game
Entangling Bola slows and stops movement abilities. Throw it to start your team’s dive.
Late game
Lycan Curse triggers at max bloodlust; at low health she becomes scarier, not weaker.

- 01Destroy turrets before fighting near them.
- 02Walk around Spectral Wall’s edge rather than through it.
