How to play this build
In the jungle, clear with Wall (W) and Defile (E) damage-free and gank using the wall slow. Requiem (R) is global: finish kills in any lane, and if you die, keep dealing damage with your passive for a few seconds.
Skill order
Max priority:
E Profanar → Q Laceración → W Muro de Dolor
The ultimate (R) is always leveled at 6, 11 and 16.
| Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | |||||||||||||
| W | W | W | W | W | W | |||||||||||||
| E | E | E | E | E | E | |||||||||||||
| R | R | R | R |
- Why this order
- In the jungle max Defile (E) for fast camp clears; in mid you'd max Q, but here farming rules. Q second.

Masteries: how they work
In Season 3 you have up to 30 points (at level 30) to split across three trees: Offense (damage), Defense (durability) and Utility (mana, cooldown reduction and mobility). The notation 21/0/9 means 21 points in Offense, 0 in Defense and 9 in Utility.
