Skilled Sniper S God Tier

Land Q and W consistently and you can cast endlessly. W especially gives infinite CC.

Void Rift deals magic damage, so it fits AP champs with high magic pen — % magic pen amplifies it, and Pridestalker's ability damage procs it many times. Forge: magic pen > AP > MS.

Vulnerability S

Q's multi-hits all benefit from Vulnerable's amp — damage is absurd.

Squishy poke duels — without Executioner, take CDR. Save W for assassin/bruiser face-divers.

Infernal Conduit C Trap

Q and E only stack one layer of Infernal Conduit each.
