How to Combo Tel'Annas

How to Use Tel'Annas's Skills Effectively

How to Play Tel'Annas in the Early Game

In the early game, spam Skill 1 Eagle Eye Eagle Eye to keep attacking the enemy from range and gain a health advantage.

When Skill 1 Eagle Eye Eagle Eye is on cooldown, play passively and stay in a safe position until it’s back up.

Prioritize clearing minions and make sure you don’t get killed too many times, as falling behind will make the following stages of the game extremely hard.

How to Play Tel'Annas in the Mid Game

Playing Tel'Annas Tel'Annas differs from the early game in that you need to move to other lanes to look for extra resources like kills or major objectives to power up faster.

But since this hero’s mobility is very low, you need to move with a support and watch the map along with checking bushes constantly to avoid being caught alone.

When encountering an enemy hero, use Skill 2 Penetrating Shot Penetrating Shot to slow them first, then attack while moving to maintain a safe distance.

How to Play Tel'Annas in the Late Game

By the late game, it’s almost mandatory to stick with your team to join fights and also avoid dying alone, which could easily lose the whole match.

In fights, stay deep in the backline, then use Skill 1 Eagle Eye Eagle Eye to extend your range and keep firing basic attacks into the enemy team.

Using Skill 2 Penetrating Shot Penetrating Shot for a wide-area slow and Skill 3 Arrow of Chaos Arrow of Chaos to stun the enemy carry or interrupt their channeled skills is a good tactic to help win the fight.

Also take advantage of Skill 1 Eagle Eye Eagle Eye ‘s extended range to push towers without needing minions, which also brings a huge advantage for the whole match.
