Overview

TwinBlast is an agile ranger who trades in a weak early game for a strong late game. TwinBlast has a lot of utility for a ranger and can deal tons of damage late game. With a solid team, TwinBlast can excel in teamfights and dominate the enemy team. His high mobility and utility on grenade allow him to get out certain situations and has a lot of attack speed. As for builds take flat attack damage and attack speed and finish up with either critical strike chance, life steal, or health and resistance depending on how the game game is turning out.

Leveling up TwinBlast's Abilities

TwinBlast does not have much diversity in his Abilities Build. The below build is the most common one.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
		✔	✔			✔			✔			✔

When the game starts you want to put your first point into dash . The reason for this is because you do very little damage early game and if their is a jungle invade or early team fight, your dash will allow you to reposition, escape, or catch up to someone running away. After you put your first point into your dash, you want to max out your attack speed ability as this is the ability you are going to be using most often. Put upgrade points into your ultimate and your auto attack whenever possible. Lastly finish up with second point into your dash for the reduced cool down and put the rest of your points towards your grenade for utility or continue upgrading your Rocket Dash to have better escape / engage.

It is very rare when you need to sacrifice your attack speed or reposition for the sake of Grenade.

Ability Combos

More combos coming soon!

All-In Combo ( + + + )

Your standard combo will be your all-in combo. Be careful when using this combo as this requires your dash so you won't be able to escape. Start off by using travel mode/walking towards the enemy hero. When you get close enough fire your grenade in the direction that they are running towards (most often behind them). Next use your dash to get in close, activate your attack speed ability then unleash your ultimate on them. This works best when they are at about 70% HP or less. Below is a video demonstrating the combo in action.

Early Game (0-20min)

• Stick to farming
• Only engage if necessary
• Use your grenade to slow the enemy down for your jungler
• Ward your lane
• You can poke at tower pretty good, just watch your position

Mid Game (20-40min)

• You should be able to deal a moderate amount of DPS at this point
• Take jungle camps if your lane is pushed to the enemy tower
• Look for opportunites to gank mid lane
• You can help out in teamfights with enough support

Late Game (40min+)

• Stay behind your team or poke at the enemy prior to the team fight
• Timing your ult correctly can decide the outcome of the fight
• Be vigilant on what hero's are alive and their position
• Prioritze their carries if possible
• Use your grenade and rocket dash to get away or reposistion

Here is a video showing the importance of positioning TwinBlast. Notice how I rocket dash past Steel's wall to catch him and my team follows up. I enter travel mode to gain some distance. After, I position myself at higher ground to avoid Howitzer's ult and I continue to poke down the enemy team.

Jungling

• Clear white camps if your lane is pushed to the enemy tower
• Take red buff if your jungler no longer needs it
• Ward the enemy jungle when possible
• Check for enemy red or blue buff

Laning

• Most of the time your lane will be pushed back to your tower
• Try to farm as best as possible
• Ask for ganks

Ganking

• Make sure you ping to let your teammate know when your coming
• Use grenade to help slow the enemy down

FAQ

Frequent questions that may appear while playing this build and your answers

1. Q: Can I build differently?
   A: Yes you can, just make sure to build at least some form of flat damage and attack speed. You can then add crit chance, life steal, armor penetration , or resistance cards to your liking.

2. Q: Can I play mid as TwinBlast?
   A: He is a viable pick as mid, although not recommended because their will be no energy hero on your team.
