SEASON 42 PROFILE
Shimmer of HopeDeathly Grasp terrifies anyone it touches, Cursed Blast punishes an area after a delay, and Eternal Guard summons a knight whose landing knocks enemies up. Vexana prepares fights rather than chasing them; her whole kit aligns when opponents enter through a narrow route.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Clear Mid Lane with Cursed Blast by accounting for its delay, and keep Deathly Grasp for the opponent's approach.
Cast Eternal Guard onto an enemy already controlled to secure the knock-up and keep the knight attacking inside the fight.
Around objectives, place Cursed Blast on the entrance and force enemies to cross it or concede space. There is no need to chase the hero already outside.
