MIRANA - GUIDE





SKILL BUILD


Level 1 - Elune’s Arrow (1)





Enable to harass the enemy as early as possible with this skill because you will have a chance to attack when it hits the enemy.


Level 2 - Star Fall (1)








Level 3 - Star Fall (2)

I refer to upgrade the star fall than the Elune’s arrow because this skill will help
you to earn more gold in the early game.


Level 4 - Leap (1)



Enable to escape from death or to jump in when you hit the enemy with the Elune’s Arrow.


Level 5 - Star fall (3)


Level 6 - Elune’s Arrow (2)


Level 7 - Star fall (MAX)

Farming - Hit the Long range creep once and wait the melee creep until it reaches half of its life before using this skill so that you have a sure 2 creeps killed in using of this skill.


The nearest enemy unit will receive an additional damage because 2 stars will fall on him.


Level 8 - Elune’s Arrow (3)

Level 9 - Elune’s Arrow (MAX)

Try to hit the enemy from a long distance, because the longer the distance, the longer the stun will do.



Level 10 - Moonlight Shadow (1)




This skill might help your team mates when they are in danger.


Level 11 – onwards


NOTE:

Upgrade the Leap to the max level if the enemy gunk often.
Do not max the moonlight shadow early because it is not very useful in the early game.


ITEM BUILDS

FIRST ITEMS IN 5V5 GAME:
