Best runes this season When a slot says "Pick one", both runes are playable: take the one that fits how you play. Helm: both are playable, but I prefer Crown Soul's extra 10% unit damage reduction over Abyssal Rift's poison, unless you play a diving class. Armour: Flower War triggers on skills whose tooltip shows the DAMAGE tag without RANGED (here: Leap and Slash), and its +25% defence does not count toward the defence caps on passives. Bracers: Diving Eagle is a must if you run lance cavalry in your warband. It costs 3, so drop Yang Fire VII for it. If you don't run Buckler or Poleaxe units, take Yang Fire VII and VIII on the armour instead.

Tips
- Your ultimate dismounts enemies if they are mounted.
- Your snare cancels anything, even CCi heroes, so you are great at protecting important units such as exotics (low life, high impact units).
- You are great at defending supply on TW.
- The class isn’t really played in sieges or ranked: it’s rather used temporarily then swapping back to another class (LB or DB for example), or specially for TW.
