Patch 26.19 Diamond+·Difficulty:
This is Hail of Blades Viego, and on this build he is an assassin, not a bruiser. You are not tanky enough to start fights, so you win them from the fog: hide in E, sit in the bushes the enemy walks through, and go in second on a target you can kill alone. The Collector first keeps both builds open, Infinity Edge next into a squishy team and Lord Dominik's Regards next into a tanky one, and from three items one fully charged W is a kill. The reset is a bonus when it comes, never the plan.

Quick Tips
All phases
- •Cast E before you possess a body, not after, the stealth carries into the body
- •Weave an attack between every spell, and open with an attack into Q, not W into Q
- •Tap W then R and the R waits for the dash to end, reaching a target who thought they were out of range
- •Q during the W dash fires both at once, faster burst for one less double hit
- •In a stolen body your spells still mark, and attacks on a marked target hit harder and heal you
- •Triumph and the possession heal stack, so a reset refills a big chunk of health, a bonus and never the plan

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Full clear first, the plays happen once your camps are done
- •You are weak in early duels, so give up a camp rather than lose a 1v1 you cannot win
- •Gank a lane that has CC or a wave pushing toward you, otherwise farm to your item
- •Be at scuttle before it spawns
- •Hold Smite until the camp is low, Q hits for a share of current health so it does the most while the camp is full
- •Clear with your back to a wall, W aimed into it cannot dash, so attack, W, attack is an instant reset
- •Finish a camp next to the next one and pull it over with W so one Q hits both
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Default
Snowballing
vs tanky
Split pushing
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •Your job is three items, Lord Dominik's is where the kills start
- •Play around the side lanes and the enemy jungle, where targets walk alone
- •When there is no play, sit in an enemy bush on their path and wait
- •If you fell behind, give up the objective and look for plays on the other side of the map
- •A gank that is not on still pays, recall hidden inside the E you cast on your way out

Late Game
4+ items
- •Go in second, after their engage or a teammate's CC
- •Pick targets you can kill fast, and a frontliner who dives your team counts
- •Use R to cancel their key CC, not only to finish a kill, nothing can knock you out of the cast
- •Taking a body while R is up gives you a second R charge, and two back to back win the fight
- •R knocks everyone except its target 400 units away, aim it to throw them into your team or away from your carry
