• Card Trick: When firing, Flight accumulates cards that can be directed at enemies, causing damage. The mouse cursor controls the flight of these cards.

• Project Mind: This ability allows Wraith to instantly move a short distance, helping her avoid attacks or catch enemies by surprise.
• Full Auto: Activating this ability temporarily increases Wraith’s attack speed, and her bullets deal spirit damage.
• Telekinesis: This ability stuns enemies and lifts them into the air, giving Wraith excellent control over the situation.

Key Strategies for the Game

Laning Stage of the Game

• From the beginning, actively use cards for both offense and defense, accumulating as many charges as possible to attack your enemies. Dominating your lane will allow you to support nearby teammates while also controlling the pace of the game.
• If you maintain lane dominance, keep pressure on the enemy, and consistently apply your skills. If you have your ultimate ability available, consider ganking other lanes.
• If you find yourself losing your lane, retreat to the forest and wait for enemy creeps to approach your side. Careful farming in this stage will help you regain your position.

Mid Stage of the Game

• After acquiring the crucial item, Tesla Bullets, you need to focus on farming and split-pushing, while also taking down lone heroes trying to defend against the push.
• Avoid engaging in fights until your farming is finished. You can join battles once you’ve secured all the resources needed to contribute effectively in combat.

The Late Stage of the Game

• In the late stages of the game, Wraith reaches her peak performance, showcasing her dominant ability to take down almost any enemy in one-on-one encounters. At this point, the main objectives are to collect essential items and complete her build, followed by making an attempt to finish the game.
