How to play
Lam is a burst-damage Assassin with high mobility. With a combo that chains Skill 1 twice, then Skill 2, a Basic Attack, and the Ultimate, you can quickly cut into the enemy backline and finish them off. He deals bonus damage to low-HP enemies.
Skill 1 dives underwater and resurfaces to deal damage. Skill 2 deals damage to nearby enemies while applying a mark that empowers Basic Attacks. The Ultimate dashes forward, knocking enemies back to the destination.
For skill leveling, prioritize the Ultimate, and when the Ultimate is unavailable, prioritize Skill 2.
Advanced tips
Here are some advanced techniques and combos for Lam.
Use the timing of diving underwater and resurfacing to dodge enemy skills, and stack marks to push your Basic Attack damage to the maximum.
Since you deal bonus damage to low-HP enemies, make the most of that trait by prioritizing cutting into and cleaning up the enemy backline.
Skills (level values & ratios)
Passive: Hunter：When an enemy's HP drops below 30%, applies the "Prey" mark to that enemy. Basic attacks and skills against a marked enemy deal an additional 7.5%-15% True Damage. True Damage 7.5〜15
Skill 1: Wavebreaker：Enters diving mode for 3 seconds via magic power. Move Speed increases by 40. When it ends, returns to normal mode and reduces CD by 50%.
Casting "Wavebreaker" in diving mode leaps out of the water to attack. Dashes in the designated direction, dealing 300 (300+120% of Bonus Physical ATK) Physical Damage to enemies along the path and reducing enemy Move Speed by 25% for 1.5 seconds. CD (s) 10→8 / Base Damage 300→600 / Slow 25%→50% / Move Speed Up 40→80 / MP Cost 30
Skill 2: Space Split：Slashes the enemy twice, each dealing 225 (225+45% of Bonus Physical ATK) Physical Damage. Each skill cast gains 1 stack of a mark, and each hit on an enemy gains an additional mark (cannot be gained repeatedly from the same enemy; up to 3 stacks). Hitting an enemy restores 85 (85+15% of Bonus Physical ATK+1% of Bonus HP) HP (halved against non-hero units).
While marks are stacked, a basic attack consumes 1 mark stack to enhance the next basic attack. The enhanced basic attack dashes to the enemy, dealing 177 (50+75% of Physical ATK) Physical Damage and restoring 85 (85+15% of Bonus Physical ATK+1% of Bonus HP) HP. Each chase reduces Skill 2's cooldown by 10%-20%.
Casting the skill in diving mode dashes in the designated direction, and Skill 1's cast is reduced by 25%. CD (s) 6→5 / Base Damage 225→450 / MP Cost 40
Ultimate: Death From Below：Throws a dagger in the designated direction, greatly reducing the Move Speed of enemies along the path for 0.5 seconds. After a set time, dashes toward the dagger's position, dealing 520 (520+180% of Bonus Physical ATK) Physical Damage to enemies along the path and pulling them to the dagger's landing point.
If in diving mode, pulls enemies along the path to the dash's endpoint and reduces Skill 1 by 50%. CD (s) 40→30 / Base Damage 520→1040 / MP Cost 80
Lam — Early / Mid / Late Game
Early game: Before entering a fight, stock up three stages of enhanced Basic Attacks on jungle monsters or in lane, so that once you engage you can instantly deal six high-damage strikes to multiple enemies with aaa2aaa. After using Skill 1 and Skill 2 to close in, use the enhanced Basic Attack to move behind the enemy, then push them back with the Ultimate.
Mid game: The basic combos aren't complex; the two most commonly used sets are one for opening fights and one for finishing. When chaining enhanced Basic Attacks, remember to release the directional stick and turn on auto Basic Attack at the same time.
Late game: There is no specific description of late-game play in the source (only notes about itemization).
