Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on Pyke

    Phantom Undertow (E) is a dash, so the extra Ability Haste lets you stun and reposition much more often, chaining stuns alongside your Bone Skewer (Q) pull.

  2. Earthwake

    Prismatic

    Your dash, blink, or teleport Abilities leave behind a trail that detonates after 1 second.

    Why on Pyke

    Phantom Undertow (E) leaves a detonating trail along your dash path, so the line your phantom stuns enemies on also takes extra damage.

  3. Clown College

    Prismatic

    Gain Deceive Summoner Spell. Deceive: You teleport and become Invisible. Your next Attack while Invisible deals additional physical damage. When you die, spawn an exploding box that deals a large amount of magic damage and Fear nearby enemies.

    Why on Pyke

    Deceive hides you mid-fight so Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) can regenerate recent damage, and the teleport repositions you for Death From Below (R) executes.
