Wing Gust
About
Wing gust is a line attack that sends forth four damage-dealing balls. It scales off 40% of your magical power. This means the more power you have, the higher your damage output will be. Additionally,
wing gust disregards the backpedaling penalty and increases Isis' movement speed while also ignoring knock-up and root.
This attack will go through walls and continue to hit enemies behind the initial target.
Using
Wing gust is Isis' main attack for minion clearing, and debatably one of her primary methods of escape (movement speed + smacking players with potentially dissuading damage). This attack is best used in combo with her
spirit ball to ensure maximum damage by hitting all four gusts.
Wing gust is also a good chase/finisher move.
As a lane bully, Isis can use this attack to gun down enemies while clearing minions waves. She can drift in and out of fights or the range of other players with a mobility that can make her a harder target.
Spirit Ball
About
Spirit Ball is a dangerous long-ranged projectile that works as Isis' highest, immediate damage ability in her kit. Alongside dealing massive amounts of damage
spirit ball, stuns enemies for 1 second. It scales off 70% of magical power.
The farther the ball travels the more damage it will do (gaining up to 1.5x more damage a full range). Once thrown the
spirit ball can be activated at any time by tapping the button of its activation again.
Using
As a double threat (stun + damage),
spirit ball has both good team potential, kill set-up, and poke. As stated before this attack is best used initially with a follow-up of
wing gust. During team fights,
spirit ball can be a outcome changer with its stun and damage. Throwing this attack into a crowd of enemy players is an excellent route for helping secure kills for your team as well as dooming the enemy to take more damage.
However, as a relatively slow-moving projective,
spirit ball is easy to dodge, particularly at far ranged. Using the attack at closer range gives the enemy less time to react. Being a mage, however, getting close usually isn't safe, so when trying to hit
spirit ball from far range try using angles. Hitting boxed in or distracted players is much, much easier than going head on.
Seeing as most hits with
spirit ball will be a result of manual detonation, it's important to get timing down. Sometimes balls will go too far and sometimes not far enough. It's all a matter of getting used the attack and just watching the projectile. Practice makes perfect!
Lastly,
spirit ball can also allow Isis to escape potentially dangerous situations with its stun. However, stunning enemies who are too close can be extremely difficult (spamming the button is the only chance).
Spirit ball should be used early and often to avoid this.
Dispel Magic
About
Dispel magic is used to silence enemies (this does not prevent basic attacking; only abilities). Additionally, this attack can slightly slow and take away magical protections. If allies are close enough to gain the affects of Isis' passive ability, then they can gain some magical protection for a short time.
Using
Dispel magic is best used to prevent enemies from using their abilities, so use it frequently to cause as much disruption as possible.
Circle of Protection
About
Circle of Protection is Isis' dual bladed ultimate. Isis will insert her staff in the ground with a target area around. The staff can charge for a maximum of 5 seconds, but, similarly to
spirt ball, the ability can be detonated anytime it is activated. However, the longer the staff is allowed to charge, the more damage will be outputted.
As mentioned,
circe of protection has two sides. Alongside damage, the ability will heal Isis and any allies inside the circle. The longer the staff is allowed to charge, the more healing the ability will do.
Similar to Isis' other abilities,
circle of protection scales off magical power: 50% for damage and 25% for health.
Using
Circle of Protection is a very powerful ability that can be utilized to its fullest extent during team fights. This is where Isis' colors really shine: her team capabilities. If a big fight breaks out, be sure to thrown down this ultimate and detonate as soon or late as necessary to get the full potential.
With it's healing ability,
circle of protection can help sustain Isis in normally one-sided fights. For example, if Loki attacks, throw down this ultimate and use
wing gust to keep a safe distance (all the while staying within the ultimate circle). When it's charged enough, detonate it. You'll gain back a dissuading amount of health and pack a hard punch against Loki.
(Passive) Funeral Rites
About
Funeral rites gives Isis and allies close enough (80 units) increased HP5 and MP5. The passive potency increases the more deaths Isis "witnesses" (these can by ally or enemy players) and maxes out at 10 stacks (at this point it does +20 HP5 and MP5). While this passive does not play such a big part in Arena, it can give her a sustaining edge in Conquest.
