When Short trades in lane or jungle

1. AutoStack→
2. AutoStack→
3. WSlow→
4. EDetonate

Tip Build Deadly Venom with basic attacks and W, then E. E scales per stack, so detonate at 4-5 stacks for maximum damage.

When Approaching under camouflage to catch a single target

1. QStealth→
2. AutoStack→
3. AutoStack→
4. WSlow→
5. AutoStack→
6. EDetonate

Tip Approach with Q camouflage; for 3 seconds after emerging, attacks apply an extra Deadly Venom stack, helping reach five quickly. W does not root or bind—it creates a 3-second slow and applies Venom—so detonate the current stacks with E before the target leaves.

When Piercing the enemy team when grouped

1. QApproach→
2. REmpower→
3. WArea slow→
4. AutoPierce→
5. AutoPierce→
6. ESpread

Tip Use Q camouflage and speed to take a side angle that lines up several enemies, then activate R for range and attack damage. W is a 3-second slow zone, not a root, so place it along the expected path to preserve the line. Piercing basic attacks deal less to later targets but stack Venom on all of them, and E spreads damage from targets at five stacks.

When Realigning the piercing line onto more enemies

1. REmpower→
2. FlashAngle→
3. WSlow→
4. AutoPierce→
5. ESpread

Tip Activate R, then Flash to a side angle so the piercing attack line crosses multiple enemies. W does not bind; it slows for 3 seconds, so throw it ahead of the escape path. If the enemies no longer line up after Flash, focus basic attacks on one target to reach five Venom stacks before E rather than spreading too thinly.
