Combat Combo

- Hold “alt” (instant cast key) and cast Gravitational Vortex immediately
- Start chanting and channeling Stardust Torrent
Speed/Stealth Combo
- Phantom Step only has a ~2 second downtime with 5/5 Blessing and 5/5 Seamless. So, use it whenever it's off cooldown or when you are approaching enemies
- Shadow Veil to scout and initiate, ideally positioning yourself behind the enemy team waiting for them to group up for your combo
- Both combined provide a 50% movement speed boost
Escaping
- When attacked, use shift dodge through and behind the enemy, rather than directly backwards/away
