Threat Hero Notes
1
Ringo So squishy, the moment you see him, vanish and check the surroundings before engaging. Engage by, Vanish, basic attack, X-Retsu, Kaiten, he should be dead, if not, run away(but not too far) , vanish and repeat, X-Retsu's bleeding should be able to take him down for sure.
2
Petal So squishy! Just be sure to look out for her ult. But other than that, she should be able to be killed in the first try. But even if she can't, she can't escape.
3
Krul Depends on long fight to survive, but take note of the build, otherwise, he could be deadly.
3
Adagio Depends on the build, if he is tank, he will take a few vanishes to take down. Take note of his arcane fire, it can be deadly if you do not have defenses.
4
Skaarf Squishy, but take note of his fan the flames, a good skaarf can predict where you vanish to if you cannot take him out on the first try.
5
Joule Will not be much of a trouble unless she hits you with her ult. That can instant kill you if you did not get any defenses. Watch out.
6
Ardan Ardan is a tough character, you can take him down as long as he has no backup, otherwise, in a team fight, do not take him down first.
6
Celeste A lot of crystal power and her stun can be VERY deadly. Just kaiten to avoid her stun and be sure to Crit to gain speed and do not get in the way to be nova starred.
6
Taka A crystal build taka bursts more than a weapon build, but if you can vanish, so can he. Use flares against him if possible. But against a crystal build taka, The one to kaiten the ult wins. (Or the first hit)
7
Fortress Tanky, some vanishes to take down, not going to be much of a trouble if he is a tank, otherwise, aim him first in team battles. His ult can be irritating as your location while vanished may be reavled, do be cateful.
7
Rona She can burst you almost as much as you can for him. When she uses her ult, wait till it stops before engaging again or you will be dealt a lot of damage.
7
Vox Can escape quite easily, just be sure he is not a burst one. Watch out for his silence, his silence can be very deadly!
8
Glaive Tanky and can deal a lot of damage, just be wary and his First Ability can track you down if you are just too predictable.
8
Koshka If she is tanky, beware. Otherwise you should be safe as long as she does not stun you and your kaiten is well timed.
9
SAW A crystal build saw can burst you more than a weapon build one. Engage when you are sure his Roadie Run is used or when he is using suppressing fire. For weapon build, wait till his stacks are gone or when he is using suppressing fire. For weapon, when you can't take him out of the first try, vanishing is easy as he has super slow speed. Engage again when all your abilities are back up.
10
Catherine Holy! Here comes the Tank Godness, never engage alone, even if you are at full health and she isn't. If you MUST, ensure your abilities are used when her stormguard is not enabled, your abilities will be rendered useless. Her silence is also very deadly.
10
Ringo Crystal Ringo : the moment his Ult locks on to you. You can say good bye. (If you have no defenses) Try to kaiten as soon as you can to avoid the fireball.

Taka Top

This build is meant for those who like to burst and take out an enemy as fast as possible.

Taka can enter and leave with ease in this build. Use your vanish whenever you can to keep the KI stacks high for ability cooldown. Although extremely squishy, he can burst almost anyone with ease that you do not need to get defenses. (Usually)

Reasons Top

Frostburn
- Slows down enemy so you have time to vanish and attack again.

Eve Of Harvest
- Life steal
- More vanishing to keep the KI Stacks high
- More X-Retsu

Clockwork
- More Kaiten = Less Damage Taken
- Faster Vanishing = Faster Kills

Journey Boots
- Yup. Just Boots.

Potion? Late game? You mad bro?
- Replace with Crystal Infusion if you want, but this keeps your mana up if you DO lose it, plus that extra health might save you and the healing is a lot since you have super low hp.

Other items depend on situational.
If the enemies are squishy, get Shatterglass.
High armour, get Broken Myth.
If the enemys are more tanky or deal too much damage to you,
(Abilty Damage - Aegis )
(Basic Attacks - Coat of plates)
I do not usually go for Atlas, you shouldn't even get the chance to stay by the enemy for even 0.7 seconds.
More Burst? Get Aftershock , after Kaiten, the basic attack will floor the enemy.

How to attack (Solo) Top

Step 1: (otherwise, like in a bush, secretly)
Vanish and move just right infront of the enemy or in range of X-Retsu.
(Always check surroundings if possible, as you are engaging your victim, anyone can interfere and without defenses, you WILL be killed)

Step 2:
X-Retsu the enemy, aim properly, or it might just be wasted on the wrong enemy.

Step 3:
Do not get panicky and go rapidly tapping on the enemy, you MIGHT switch characters!
Try to get ONE basic attack on him( If not possible, just do step 4)

Step 4:
Kaiten the enemy

Step 5:
Vanish or Run away
(The enemy should die from the bleeding of X-Retsu or your Kaiten, if not, Repeat Steps 1-4)

How to attack (Team Fights) Top

Aim the most dangerous enemy to YOUR team.

Do Steps 2-5

The moment an enemy locks on to you and you can't handle the damage, vanish and aim the most squishy one next/least health.

If your entire team is dead, try to pick them out ONE by ONE(if possible)

Pros and cons Top

Pros:
Burst, can kill squishy chaeacters and tanks
More agile as can use vanish and can use Kaiten more often so you can block more ults

Cons:
Cannot sustain in long fights without vanishing
If vanish is not fast enough, enemies may get away

Weapon build is just worse, in almost every way.

Tips Top

Try placing scout traps near monster camps to X-retsu from place to place , it won't cause you much when you have eve of harvest

Do not be greedy, just because you think you can get the kill, you go all out on that one person and get yourself killed, if your team has no more high damage deale, you might lose the match.

Do not be scared to use up mana to vanish, monster camps can always give you back!
