Introduction to Omen
▼Omen is a Fighter in Arena of Valor who can play the Top Lane or the Support role. His passive, Thirst, is the core of Omen's power: after enough basic attacks he becomes empowered, gaining movement speed and attack speed, dealing bonus true damage and cutting the cooldowns of his first two skills.
Death's Beckon pulls enemies in front of him closer and slows them, while Untouchable grants damage reduction and movement speed and reflects enemy heroes' basic attacks back at them, which is a real headache for heroes that rely on basic attacks. His ultimate, Death's Embrace, dashes to the first enemy hero hit and traps them in an arena, reducing their damage dealt and preventing escape.
Omen's health, damage and crowd control ratings are all fairly low, offset by low difficulty; his real strength comes from choosing the right target to lock down with his ultimate. Check out Omen's item build, Arcana, Enchantments, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and phase-by-phase playstyle below.

Omen
‘s health bar, since the empowered basic attack from the passive is this hero’s main damage source.
- Basic attack to stack the passive before engaging the enemy.
- Basic attack the moment the passive bar is full for maximum true damage and cooldown reduction.
- Time it for when the enemy bursts you down, then activate it to maximize damage immunity while reflecting as much damage as possible.
- Best used in large fights, since the more enemies attack you, the more damage you reflect and the more passive

charges you stack.

Zip How to Play Omen in the Early Game
At the start of the match, quickly move to lane then use Skill 1
Death's Beckon
to gather minions and kill them fast to reach level 2 before your opponent, letting you find a way to take them down or pressure them.
Continuously basic attack minions to stack passive
Thirst
; once the bar is full or close to full, dive in to trade skills with the enemy, combined with using Skill 2
Untouchable
at the right time for damage immunity and reflection, and you’ll definitely dominate your opponent.
How to Play Omen in the Mid Game
In the mid game, take advantage of your early pressure to force out and take the enemy’s turret early, then rotate to help your allies push another lane, join fights, or attack major objectives.
Omen
is fairly strong in the mid game with big damage and toughness, so play a bit aggressively and be ready to duel or dive into a fight without worrying too much.
How to Play Omen in the Late Game
By the late game, prioritize moving with your allies to prepare for full team fights, or you can split push depending on the match situation.
The most important job now is finding a way to use Skill 3
Death's Embrace
to trap the enemy’s core damage dealer so they have no way to run, leaving them standing still while you and your allies unload damage.
You can use
Flicker
to suddenly close in and combo; another important thing is timing your dive into the enemy formation precisely, then using Skill 2
Untouchable
to optimize damage immunity while quickly stacking passive
Thirst
