⚡TL;DR
- ▸Claude is a farm-hungry AoE hyper-carry marksman.
- ▸Spikes after 3 attack-speed items, roughly 15+ minutes.
- ▸Killer mistake: fighting early before items and stacks exist.
- ▸Win by surviving early, then out-DPSing clumped teams late.
- ▸Hard-countered by suppression and cancels during his ult.
🎯Identity
Claude exists to become an unkillable AoE attack-speed machine that deletes clustered teams late.
Dexter doubles every basic attack, so all attack-speed scales twice.
His passive steals enemy attack speed as he fights, so he grows mid-fight.
Everything is basic-attack physical damage, so items matter more than combos.
⚙️How the kit actually works
Doubles your basic-attack output by mirroring every hit through the monkey.
Every attack-speed and lifesteal item is effectively doubled by Dexter's mirrored hits.
Claude and Dexter share movement, so Dexter's position is set by your Skill 2 swap.
Your ramp button: hit enemies to steal attack speed and start snowballing DPS.
Gains attack speed per enemy hit, so it rewards spinning into the whole clump.
Cast this FIRST every fight to be firing fast before basics and ult land.
Double-blink reposition to escape dives or chase kills, with a slow attached.
Swaps you and Dexter, so you can blink then blink back to bait and dodge.
1s slow lets you kite a chaser without losing attack uptime.
AoE nuke: both Claude and Dexter fire at max speed at nearby enemies.
Hits random nearby enemies, so its value explodes when the enemy team is clumped.
You are locked firing during it, so this is exactly when Kaja/Khufra/Lesley delete you.
Skill 1 first stacks attack speed, then basics and Dexter fire faster.
Passive steals more attack speed the longer you attack the clump.
Ultimate multiplies all that ramped speed into AoE across many targets.
📈Power curve
A near-useless early hero that becomes game-deciding once three attack-speed items exist.
No items or stacks, low base damage, easily dove and killed.
First items online; Skill 1 stacking starts making fights winnable.
Doubled attack speed plus stolen speed makes Blazing Duet wipe teams.
🏆Win condition
Reach 3 attack-speed items alive, then only fight clustered enemies with ult up.
- 1Farm safely to Windtalker, Berserker Fury, Golden Staff before committing.
- 2Open every fight with Skill 1 to bank attack speed before ulting.
- 3Save Blazing Duet for clumped enemies; hold Skill 2 to escape divers.
