Tips

How to Play

Ancient Seal silences and amplifies magic damage, so cast it before Mystic Flare for the full burst.

Arcane Bolt deals bonus damage based on your intelligence, so spam it in lane to dominate.

Concussive Shot slows and homes onto enemies, so use it to chase or escape.

Mystic Flare deals massive single target damage, so combo it with Ancient Seal and Rod of Atos.

Skywrath has a low HP pool, so stay behind your team and cast from range.

Your power spikes between minutes 5 and 25, so fight aggressively before BKBs come online.
