How to Play Ishar

How to Combo Ishar

Basic Ishar combo.

  1. Cast Skill 1 Somnial Fungus to deal damage while directing Furball to attack that enemy hero.
  2. Use Skill 2 Somnial Shield to create a shield and pull Furball back to heal it.

Use Skill 3 Dreamy Circle sensibly depending on the situation.

How to Use Ishar's Skills Effectively

Passive Furball :

  • Keep using Tini to attack your opponent since it respawns after a short time.
  • Hide behind Tini and use it as a shield to block damage.
  • After Ishar dies, Tini becomes empowered and hits very hard, so account for this damage when attacking the enemy.

Skill 1 Somnial Fungus :

  • Use this long-range skillshot to farm minions, poke the enemy, check bushes, and contest objectives.
  • Watch for the 2nd hit of Skill 1, which launches the enemy hero, and take advantage of that window to burst the target or escape.

Skill 2 Somnial Shield :

  • Take advantage of its launch effect against enemies trying to close in on you.
  • Use its shield and speed boost when you need to trade skills, chase, or escape the enemy.

Skill 3 Dreamy Circle :

  • Use Skill 3 on low-mobility enemy heroes, or they might dash out of the crowd-control range.
  • Use this skill in the middle of the enemy team during a fight to split and break their formation.

How to Play Ishar in the Early Game

In the early game, play proactively to make full use of Furball ‘s respawn ability.

Ishar just needs to stand behind and let Furball charge in to poke the enemy.

When there’s an opening, move in to harass the enemy jungle or call your team to secure Dragon and Caesar early for an advantage from the start. You just need to stand outside and control Furball to jump over walls and attack a target extremely effectively.

How to Play Ishar in the Mid Game

By the mid game, follow your strongest ally to coordinate ganks, secure objectives, and push lanes.

Use Furball to open fights while also acting as a shield to block damage from enemy heroes and turrets, creating an opening for your allies to unload damage.

How to Play Ishar in the Late Game

By the late game, always move with your team and especially stay close to your core damage dealer’s position, ready to use Skill 2 Somnial Shield to launch enemies trying to close in to attack, protecting both of you.

Use Skill 3 Dreamy Circle sensibly to split the enemy formation, isolating their core damage dealer, then direct Furball to attack them.

When there’s an opportunity, immediately secure Tier-3 Dragon and Caesar for major buffs that greatly increase your chances of winning.
