Deadly Venom
(Innate): Twitch's basic attacks infects the target, dealing 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 true damage every second for 6 seconds, stacking up to 6 times.
Tips :
The passive is indicated by the little yellow icon next to the sbire.
An aggressive passive!
That stings!
In the early game, this passive does not provide a lot of damage and is mostly used to improve the other abilities. If you gain a good advantage in the early game, be careful not to stay near the tower or you will end up taking aggro because of the poison.
You shouldn't, however, entirely ignore this passive because it can make the difference between a champion who escapes with 50 HP or an additional kill.
Be careful not to use your Expunge (E) too soon as the damage is increased with the number of stacks of poison.
Ambush (Q)
(Active): After 1.25 seconds (delayed up to 3 seconds if taking damage), Twitch becomes invisible for a short duration. While stealthed, Twitch gains 20% movement speed.
Twitch gains bonus attack speed for 5 seconds after revealing himself.
Tips :
When Twitch is stealthed he can move more freely.
A stealth steroid!
Now you see me, now you don't!
Thanks to Twitch's stealth, you can reposition yourself in the lane or roam to try and catch one of your opponents by surprise. The skill effectively lets you move about freely as long as there are no stealth detecting items (oracle, pink wards, champions with an anti-stealth spell like Lulu with her Pix, etc.).
Note that the spell gives you an attack speed increase as well as the possibility of repositioning yourself, giving you an avantage in terms of damage and also the element of surprise. This way you can have a real advantage over your opponents if you manage to place yourself well to make the best of the attack speed buff.
Be careful not to just put yourself anywhere though, you may be over estimating the survival that this spell gives you and end up killing yourself stupidly because of bad positioning.
Stealth Duration: 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 seconds
Bonus Attack Speed: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 %
Venom Cask (W)
(Active): Twitch hurls a cask of venom that explodes in an area, adding 2 stacks of Deadly Venom and slowing targets hit for 3 seconds.
Tips :
The cask of poison slows your enemies.
Poisoned present!
Preparing the terrain!
Thanks to the Venom Cask, Twitch can easily prepare an engage via the spell's zone slow and the stacks of poison it applies.
If you play safe you can also use this spell to reveal enemies in the bushes (since it reveals a target if you touch him in the fog of war).
Think about using this spell so that you can use Expunge quickly without your enemies being able to escape your engage. Sometimes using Venom Cask (W) to help your offensive support (Taric, Leona, etc.) to stun your opponent will be a very efficient combo.
xpunge Cooldown: 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 seconds
Slow: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 %
Contaminate (E)
(Active): Deals physical damage to all nearby enemies affected by Deadly Venom. Expunge deals increased damage for each stack of Deadly Venom that is active on the target.
Tips :
It is obvious to see when you are using Expunge.
Poison explosion!
Thanks to Expunge, Twitch can put pressure on his opponents during his trades in the lane phase. If a trade is quite equal between the 2 duos, Twitch can use his Expunge (E) to finish his targets or reduce their HP.
It is recommended to use Expunge (E) as an execution spell rather than an engage spell so that you can be sure that your opponents have at least 6 stacks of poison on them and therefore get the most benefit form the spell's damage, as well as that of the ultimate.
Managing to master this spell will be the difference between a good Twitch and an excellent Twitch!
Cost: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 mana
Cooldown: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 seconds
Base Physical Damage: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80
Bonus Damage per Stack: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 (+0.2 per ability power) (+0.25 per bonus attack damage)
Maximum physical damage: 130 / 170 / 210 / 250 / 290 (+1.2 per ability power) (+1.5 per bonus attack damage)
Rat-ta-tat-tat (R)
(Active): For 7 seconds Twitch gains 300 attack range, bonus attack damage and his basic attacks become piercing bolts that deal 20% less damage to subsequent targets, down to a minimum of 40% damage.
Tips :
It is pretty obvious when you are using Expunge...
SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH!
Powerful AoE damage!
Once activated, Twitch's ultimate lets him splash zone attack, which can be very powerful. Like other ultimates in the League of Legends, it can completely turn a Team Fight around, just by the engage being done well.
You need to trap the opponents in the jungle in the narrow corridors like those by the blue buff. In these corridors, a good zone CC like Amumu's ultimate coupled with a zone ultimate like Twitch's will let you clean the whole enemy team in a few seconds.
Cost: 100 / 125 / 150 mana
Cooldown: 120 / 110 / 100 seconds
