Sinestrea
Introduction to Sinestrea
▼Sinestrea is an Assassin who plays Jungle in Arena of Valor, standing out for her ability to switch between melee and ranged forms in the middle of a fight. Sinestrea deals physical damage with both her blade and her blood arrows.
With her passive, Blood Flower, every basic attack that lands increases her attack range and attack speed; after four in a row she switches to her ranged form. Her first and second skills also change with her form: in ranged form, her first skill fires a blood arrow that knocks the enemy back and can bind them in place if there's a wall behind them. Her ultimate, Blood Shadow, makes each basic attack fire three arrows while granting lifesteal, movement speed and slow immunity.
Low health and little crowd control mean Sinestrea has to pick her moments to join fights, and her moderate difficulty takes some getting used to when it comes to the rhythm of switching forms. This page has everything from the item build, Arcana, Enchantments and summoner spells to combos, skill usage and a phase-by-phase guide for Sinestrea.

How to Use Sinestrea's Skills Effectively
Sinestrea Combo
How to Play Sinestrea in the Early Game
In the early game, start your jungle route with the red buff first, since Sinestrea uses no energy. The red buff grants a slow and bonus damage, which combined with her long reach in ranged form makes your early ganks extremely threatening.
Once you reach level 4, quickly rotate to gank to start snowballing; prioritize hunting squishy heroes and pick a moment when the target is near a wall to combo the root effect with empowered Skill 1
Blood Rush / Blood Arrow
for a higher success rate.
How to Play Sinestrea in the Mid Game
By the mid game,
Sinestrea
becomes very strong with her stealth, mobility, and fast burst.
Keep rotating to gank, push turrets, and secure major objectives like Dragon and Caesar to apply pressure on the enemy team.
You can take advantage of Skill 1’s
Blood Rush / Blood Arrow
stealth to hide in important spots like the enemy’s blue or red buff or river bushes, waiting for a chance to pick off stragglers.
Also, using Skill 3
Blood Shadow
sensibly to reset your kit for a max-damage combo is an important point to remember.
How to Play Sinestrea in the Late Game
In the late game,
Sinestrea
deals enormous damage but can also get deleted easily due to her paper-thin HP, so play a bit more carefully.
Stick with your team to be ready for a teamfight that could break out at any moment. A good tactic is to go stealth and hide ahead of time somewhere you can easily dive the enemy ADC or mid before the fight starts.
Use Blood Ritual from your passive
Blood Flower
skillfully to outplay, and choose which skill to empower based on the situation, such as Skill 1
Blood Rush / Blood Arrow
to lock down the carry or Skill 2
Blood Strike / Blood Storm
to finish off targets that have lost a lot of HP.
