Introduction Top
Hi I'm cosimo and this is my first Skye guide. I've been playing for a while and got the hang of the game but never really participated in the community. I One thing I noticed right off the bat is that Skye is really squishy. She also lacks a "true" escape skill. She's really high risk high reward. It pays to be aggressive with her as passive play will lead you to be sitting ducks for assassins. Don't be afraid to dive in to team fights with a quick Target Lock + Suri Strike. Even when I lose, she's a lot of fun to play with. Anyways let's hop into the Build Analysis.
Early Game Top
When you start using skye in the lane, the early game is really hard, so you need to focus on the minions and you need to catch as more as possible gold to take
Frostburn .
At this point you need to buy the crystal infusion when you need to fight.
Mid game Top
Now is where Skye really begins to pick up. Make smart use of Barrage cancels as well as Suri Strike + Barrage flanks to quickly pick of enemies. Use
Death From Above for either area denial or smart reads that can pick off your enemies. At this point you should be building towards your
Broken Myth .
Conclusion Top
Skye's heroic perk, Target Lock means you can dance around minions and kite effectively around enemies. However, unlike
Ringo or
Vox it's far harder to stutter step. It's more like a strafe/dance as the time between selecting an enemy and firing is surprisingly high. As stated before, she's really high risk, high reward and aggressive play will net you the most reward. Don't confuse aggressiveness with recklessness as that will let you be ganked often. Be wary of when and where you Suri Strike as that's your most mobile skill. Skye's play forces you to be cognizant of the enemy positions as well as the minimap. Skye is really an all-in or nothing hero.
This is by no means a finished product. I will be updating this guide the more I play with her as well as to clean it up some more. I hope this helps and all feedback is welcome!
