HOW TO PLAY

Joy guide for Season 41

Joy is a Assassin hero. They want to reach the first damage spike on time and enter after the enemy has spent its main crowd control. It chases targets with no escape particularly well.

GAME PLAN

Finish the first clear without wasting time and reach level 4 before forcing a play. A visit that earns no kill or enemy spell is a donated camp.

Play Turtle and Lord with Retribution available. Without vision or lane priority, concede or trade the objective.

Late in the game, do not reveal position too early. Wait for enemy crowd control and attack a back liner that can no longer escape.

Reference combo: S1 → S2 → AA → S1 (Return). Practise the order, but do not force it while the target still has an escape.
