Tips and Tricks
- When dashing towards enemies with Shuriken Flip, you can still cast other abilities during the dash animation.
- Once you recall, use Twilight Shroud and Shuriken Flip once you leave the fountain to get back to your lane as quickly as possible. This give you some extra time in lane, which may translate into a gold or EXP advantage over your adversary.
