SEASON 42 PROFILE

Rogue Appraiser

Fredrinn

Fredrinn converts part of the damage he takes into Crystal Energy and returns it through Appraiser's Wrath. His abilities generate Combo Points, Brave Assault engages and Energy Eruption controls; the longer opponents hit without finishing him, the stronger his answer becomes.

HOW TO PLAY

Fredrinn guide for Season 42

DAMAGE: Physical
ATTACK: Melee
SPECIALTY: Damage / Chase
MAIN POSITIONS: Jungle
IN THE GAME SINCE: 12 August 2022

01EARLY GAME
Generate points through Piercing Strike and Brave Assault during the clear without spending them outside a useful fight. Check Crystal Energy before looking for the large strike.
02MID GAME
Around Turtle, engage the enemy jungler, chain Energy Eruption and hold Appraiser's Wrath until Fredrinn has taken real damage. Casting with little energy wastes its mechanic.
03LATE GAME
Late in the game, stand in front of damage that can be returned, but do not chase Valir or X.Borg away from support. Without a nearby target, the stored energy disappears for nothing.
