How to play

Wraith is a gun duelist and pick-off hero. She wins one-on-one gunfights with Full Auto, adds extra damage and effects with Card Trick, repositions with Project Mind, and takes key enemies out of fights with Telekinesis.

Laning phase (0–10 min)

• Farm and trade with your gun. Full Auto makes short trades very strong.
• Throw cards often. Shooting builds cards; throw them at the enemy hero for extra damage and suit effects.
• Keep Project Mind for escaping in lane, since it’s your only mobility.

Mid game (10–25 min)

• Hunt isolated targets. Project Mind behind a lone farmer → Full Auto → cards.
• Get Full Auto T1 and T2 early. A shorter cooldown and a longer, faster Full Auto make you a much stronger duelist.
• Use Project Mind to rotate. With T1, it covers huge distances to join fights.

Late game and team fights (25+ min)

• Telekinesis the biggest threat. Lifting the enemy carry or initiator for over a second (longer with T3) takes them out of the fight.
• Throw them towards your team or away from theirs. The throw direction matters.
• Full Auto T3 gives unlimited ammo, so you never need to reload in the middle of a team fight.

Combos

1. Ambush: Project Mind behind the target → Full Auto → empty your gun → throw cards.
2. Pick: Telekinesis a key enemy → throw them towards your team → Full Auto them on landing.
3. Escape: Project Mind away (T2 gives a 300-point barrier) → keep shooting from range.

Matchups

• Good against: other gun heroes in one-on-one fights, and squishy casters who can’t survive Full Auto.
• Hard against: tanks stacking bullet resist, and heroes with stuns or silences that cancel Telekinesis.
• Burst spirit damage is dangerous on her low health. Add Spirit Resilience if casters are killing you.

Pro tips

• Full Auto’s bonus damage is spirit damage, so it partly ignores bullet resist; a little spirit power helps.
• Project Mind T2 gives a 300 barrier on arrival, which makes aggressive teleports much safer.
• Telekinesis T2 cuts 45 seconds from the cooldown, making it available for nearly every fight.

Lore

Wraith runs a gambling empire across New York's underworld, held together with bribes and blackmail. She handles problems personally with telekinesis and a fast-firing gun, confident the law can't touch her.
