How to Play Valhein in the Early Game

When heading to lane, level up Skill 1 Bloody Hunt Bloody Hunt and stack a red dart by basic-attacking the air, so when minions appear you can land your 3rd basic attack from the passive Pocket Glaive Pocket Glaive along with Skill 1 Bloody Hunt Bloody Hunt to clear minions faster.

In the early game, focus on farming minions for gold to build items, but don’t hesitate to trade skills with your opponent since Valhein Valhein is fairly strong early on.

How to Play Valhein in the Mid Game

Once Valhein Valhein has a solid item build, you can clear minions quickly, then rotate lanes to gank with teammates, join fights, push towers, or attack objectives.

Keep Skill 2 Curse of Death Curse of Death ready to stun a target when they try to approach you, or to chase down an enemy.

When a fight breaks out, you can use Skill 3 Bullet Storm Bullet Storm to instantly trigger 4 passive stacks Pocket Glaive Pocket Glaive for a big movement speed boost, helping you kite better in the fight.

How to Play Valhein in the Late Game

By the late game, move with your teammates to be ready for the full team fight since you’re the main damage source.

Be very careful with your positioning, since Valhein Valhein has a low health pool and short attack range, making them an easy target for enemies.

Use Skill 2 Curse of Death Curse of Death wisely in the late game to preserve your life.

You must move while keeping a safe distance while continuously attacking to deal as much damage as possible, securing the win for the fight and the whole match.
