Starter Guide: Ambush Hypercarry Twitch (ADC) ADC

Ambush Hypercarry Twitch spends the fight somewhere nobody checked. Ambush (Q) buys the attack speed, Deadly Venom and Expunge (E) do the burst, and Spray and Pray (R) shoots through the whole team.

Twitch arrives from a direction nobody was watching. Ambush (Q) gives up to 8 seconds of stealth and up to +70% bonus attack speed the moment he breaks it. Spray and Pray (R) pushes his range to 850 and makes every basic attack pierce the whole line at full crit damage.

• Starting Items: Doran's Blade and Health Potion.
• Core Build Rush: Berserker's Greaves (stealth grants up to +70% attack speed upon breaking Ambush Q stealth, which stacks with Berserker's Greaves for maximum piercing DPS), Blade of the Ruined King (active slow locks down targets when breaking Ambush Q stealth, rapidly stacking Deadly Venom for Expunge E), Infinity Edge (Spray and Pray R ultimate increases attack range to 850 and causes auto-attacks to pierce all targets in a line; Infinity Edge multiplies piercing crits across entire teams), and Last Whisper (6-stack Deadly Venom Expunge detonation physical burst punches through enemy armor).
• Situational Options: Phantom Dancer, Statikk Shiv, Guardian Angel, and Quicksilver Sash.

• Flash and Barrier.
• Max E (Expunge) first for primary 6-stack physical/magic burst damage. Max Q (Ambush) second for attack speed % and stealth duration. Max W (Venom Cask) third for slow %.

Combos worth drilling

• Stealth Ambush Pierce: Press Q (Ambush) stealth -> sneak behind enemy backline -> un-stealth (+70% AS) -> R (Spray and Pray) 850 range piercing crits -> E (Expunge) 6-stack nuke.
• Venom Cask Slow: Throw W (Venom Cask) into choke points to apply Deadly Venom stacks and slow targets.

Mistakes to avoid

• Don't break Q Ambush stealth in melee range: Open from maximum 850 range with R Spray and Pray active.
• Don't detonate E Expunge at 1-2 stacks: Wait for 6 full Deadly Venom stacks before pressing E for maximum execution burst.

• Early Game (Levels 1-5): Apply 6 stacks of Deadly Venom via basic attacks and Venom Cask (W), then detonate Expunge (E) for the execution damage.
• Mid Game (Levels 6-11): Enter Ambush (Q) stealth, sneak behind enemy midlaners, open with Blade of the Ruined King active + Spray and Pray (R), and melt them before they can react.
• Late Game (Levels 12+): Enter stealth before 5v5 teamfights. Un-stealth from 850 range, turn on Spray and Pray (R) + Q attack speed, and pierce through their entire team in 4 auto-attacks.
