2
  No Threat
3
Adagio
3
Fortress watch out for dives
4
Ozo No comments as of yet.
4
Reim Fortified health is annoying, poke him so he doesn't gain any instead of head on fights.
4
Rona Dunno, haven't seen her much to comment
5
Joule Watch out for jumps, she is known to waste our ults to dodge her.
6
Ardan Watch out for his gauntlet. Your ultimate is immune to it, but puts your whole team in a wrong position
6
Blackfeather eh. WP wins 1v1
6
Celeste watch out early
6
Kestrel WP BP burst build still very good, and her mist is annoying.
6
Taka Invis is deadly to your A, but B and C isn't affected, just predict his direction.
7
Glaive careful, he might whack you out of position
7
Skye Still going strong, watch out for her forward barrage, Hurts a lot :(
8
Catherine CC 2 strong. WATCH OUT
8
Koshka Pouncing and diving is real this patch
8
Krul VERY TANKY, CP BF's biggest worries. Don't get into late game with him, its a guarantees lost.
8
Skaarf Early Poke OP. His poke is way better than you watch out.
9
Phinn CC pull very deadly, watch out.
9
SAW Deadly early game, after that say HAHAHA to his mobility, since it allows basically 100% poke accuracy with On Point.
10
Ringo YOUR SWORN NEMESIS, GOOD AGAINST YOU AT ALL STAGES
10
Vox SUPER DEADLY LATE GAME, he can melt you despite stacking on shield. Try ulting to his back to finish him off. If you can't kill him before he kills you, GG.

Early Game Top

CP Blackfeather has a very expensive build. Also, due to the [1.14] jungle buff, the only really viable position for him is lane.
Start with a Book of Eulogies and farm up passively. Rotate and get an early Light Armor or Light Shield if you are up against long ranged laners such as Ringo, SAW, Celeste, etc. If up against passive laners, poke them with your On Point while also aiming it at your farm for last hits (2 birds in 1 stone!). On Point also grants a barrier that scales with bonus health, so when you predict poke poke them to gain a barrier to block the damage (after that immediately back off to stop minion aggro).

After your first buy you have have 2 Crystal Bits. Now you can start actively poking your enemy laner if they weren't bright enough to but a Light Shield during their first buy. Rinse and repeat and farm passively. Do not engage unless ahead, and you need to let your team know your power spike hasn't come yet.

Mid Game Top

After hitting level 8 and getting your Broken Myth, this is when the fun begins. Due to the overdrived range on On Point, poke your enemy the same way you did, but also constantly to stack you Broken Myth in case a fight breaks out anytime. CP Blackfeather's biggest flaw is that he needs a cooperative team. If he doesn't have max Broken Myth stacks, the support should not engage. This is harder to achieve in SoloQ, so just try your best! Also, at mid game his only damage source is his On Point, so you should never dive in fights at this point.

Late Game Top

Now, this is when the real fun begins. After getting you aftershock, you Feint of Heart and Rose Offensive now have a damage source.

Before any engagements, always infuse so you have enough defense and extra CP scaling. During engagements, keep on poking the enemy team. When you have max stacks, click on your Shiversteel and (hopefully) your jungler dives in for the carry. You should immediately follow up with Feint of Heart which also grants a speed boost, and start attacking him. Make sure to NOT miss your next On Point on the carry, since the barrier is the only thing keeping the squishy you alive other then your defense items. At this point you have 2 choices:
1. You are still healthy → stay in the fight and activate you next Feint of Heart on the max heartthrob enemy, hopefully killing him with the % missing health damage + Aftershock proc.
2. You are low on health → back off with your Rose Offensive (Not so offensive anymore eh? Wrong. Aftershock damage wink wink~). Try to pass through all enemies during your retreat to proc all Aftershock damage on all enemies. Aftershock damage also grants you 50% of the damage done with it as health regen, hopefully keeping yourself barely alive for the next On Point you are about to throw on the whole enemy team.

What next?
Still good on health? → Turn on the other enemy and do the exact same thing.
Low on health? → Keep poking from outside range, and go in with Rose Offensive again once they are low enough, and also grant you another slight health regen. After the Aftershock cooldown wear offs use Feint of Heart again.

End game Top

DO NOT get into end game at all costs. This is where CP Blackfeather falls off badly, due to the enemy stacking up shield and double infusing.

Also note: The Aftershock build is more advantageous against high health enemies such as Glaive, Ardan. It is rather mediocre against low health enemies, so the best is have a teammate that also has an easily interchangeable WP/CP build so you guys can swap easily when enemy team comps are not in your favor.

Note #2: In the meta now he is considered weak and unviable in higher tiers. This is very true due to his multiple flaws, and not being as good as his WP counterpart. However, he is a very fun hero to play in casual!

Hope you enjoyed this quick guide!
