SEASON 41 PROFILE

Shadow Ranger

Benedetta

AssassinFighterEXP Lane

Benedetta charges Elapsed Daytime through her basic attack, dashes through enemies and answers damage or control with An Eye for An Eye. Alecto: Final Blow creates a dangerous zone, but the hero demands precise movement rather than simply pressing every skill on entry.

IN THE GAME SINCE
7 November 2020
  1. 01EARLY GAME

    Charge the passive before trading and cast Phantom Slash from a distance where both Benedetta and her shadow connect. An Eye for An Eye should answer a specific enemy ability.

  2. 02MID GAME

    Use mobility to push EXP and approach Turtle over a side wall. Petrify inside Alecto: Final Blow holds targets on the damage.

  3. 03LATE GAME

    Late in the game, cross fights diagonally and leave through another angle. A frontal entry into Phoveus, Obsidia or Cyclops turns every dash into their opportunity.

EXP Lane Standard

Default EXP-lane setup. War Axe into Hunter Strike spikes at minute 8-11, then Malefic Roar keeps the ult lethal past minute 12. Queen's Wings gives the anti-burst window to survive the first CC rotation. Blade of the Heptaseas synergizes with flanking approach vectors where you are out of combat until the moment you dash in.

Abilities at a glance

Hover or use the keyboard on any ability to read exactly what it does in game.Tap any ability to open its in-game explanation. Tap elsewhere to close it.

  1. HOW IT WORKS

    When holding down the Basic Attack button, Benedetta enters the Swordout state and charges up Sword Intent. If the Basic Attack button is released after the Sword Intent is fully charged, Benedetta will use Swordout Slash in the direction she's facing and dash forward, dealing 215% Total Physical Attack to enemies on the path (counts as Skill Damage and is reduced to 50% on Minions and Creeps). Benedetta can only use Swordout Slash when her Sword Intent is fully charged and she is in Swordout state by holding down the Basic Attack button. Benedetta also gains Sword Intent by dealing damage with her Basic Attacks and skills.

  2. HOW IT WORKS

    Benedetta steps back and leaves a shadow in front of her. After a short delay, the shadow slashes a fan-shaped area for 200–360 Physical Damage and slows enemies by 60% for 0.5 seconds. Benedetta then dashes forward and deals 75–175 Physical Damage. If the shadow hit the target first, Benedetta's strike deals 200% damage.

  3. HOW IT WORKS

    Benedetta raises her weapon to defend, gaining Control Immunity and blocking damage from any source for 0.8 seconds. After this, she stabs in the designated direction, dealing 300–450 Physical Damage. If Benedetta successfully fends off any damage while defending, she will gain full Sword Intent. If she fends off any control effects, her subsequent stab stuns the target for 1.5 seconds.

  4. HOW IT WORKS

    Benedetta clenches Alecto, dashes forward (Benedetta is untargetable during the dash), and performs a slash after a short delay, detonating the Sword Intent along the path. For 2.5 seconds, the Sword Intent deals up to a total of 1560–2080 Physical Damage to enemies within and slows them by 50%.

Benedetta is a niche choice here. The result is worth watching, but a low pick rate means it should not be read in isolation.
