Predecessor Builds > Countess > Ability Vamp Countess
This build focuses on dealing burst damage, and self-sustaining in fights.
Early Game strategy:
Use Eventide (E) to poke your enemy in lane, and wipe out lower minions at the same time. Then once you have your other two abilities, use Shadow Slip (Q) to swoop in, use your Blade Siphon (Right Click) to deal some damage and get some health back, and then activate Shadow Slip (Q) again to teleport back to safety. This should not only help you secure CS in lane, but also put some pressure on the opposing mid-laner, and set your Jungler up for some early ganks.
Mid-Game Strategy:
After you've got your Ultimate ability Feast (R), You have at least 1.5 Tier 3 items built, and you make sure your opposing mid-laner is pushed up to tower, try to gank targets in Duo-lane and Off-lane. The combo for this would be to teleport in with your Shadow Slip, use Feast to stun them in place, use Blade Siphon, and then Eventide when they start to run away. Weave some basics in between your abilities if you feel comfortable enough to do so. If the fight isn't super in your favor, be more sparing with your mana, and adapt to the situation.
End-Game Strategy:
Once your fully built, just use the past two strategies together to help your team push towers, take jungle camps, and pick off roamers in between team-fights. If you're in a team fight, try to target high priority enemies that you know you can either finish, or get super low with a basic combo. Outside of that, play the basics of the game by pushing lanes, and take the Enemy Core.
