Lam

• Terrain-based mobility makes her extremely hard to punish.
• Ultimate deals repeated hits across a wide area.
• Strong split-push threat thanks to fast wave clear.

• Passive · The Hunt — Enemies below 30% HP become Lam's "prey," taking bonus true damage from his skills and basics.
• 1 · Riptide — Submerges for 3 seconds, gaining move speed; recasting or surfacing bursts out of the water for physical damage and a slow, and refunds 50% cooldown if the duration runs out. No duration limit while in the river. Passively, an enemy hero prey nearby boosts the speed bonus further.
• 2 · Rending Slash — Slashes nearby enemies twice for physical damage, gaining a mark per enemy hit (up to 3); his next basic consumes a mark to lunge and deal bonus physical damage plus self-heal (reduced against minions/monsters), and each proc cuts this skill's cooldown. Casting while submerged also dashes in a direction and reduces his 1's cooldown.
• Ultimate · Execution — Throws a dagger that heavily slows enemies in its path, then dashes to it and drags enemies along the path to the landing point for an execution burst of physical damage. Casting while submerged skips the throw and triggers the follow-up directly, also cutting his 1's cooldown.

Build 1: Greedy Bite → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Grandmaster's Might → Champion's Warplate → Doomsday

Tip: Doomsday paired with his passive sharpens his ability to finish off low-HP targets even further.

Build 2: Greedy Bite → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Frostbound Grip → Champion's Warplate → Star-Shattering Hammer

Tip: As a hero who has to dive in to collect kills, Lam is fairly squishy — some tankiness adds forgiveness for mistakes.

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Hunt

Tip: Since Lam's damage leans on his skills, the armor-penetration set is his best pick.
