„Nebelwand“ kann sowohl zur Flucht als auch zur Vorbereitung eines Kills eingesetzt werden.
„Schnelles Ziehen“ kann genutzt werden, um in Reichweite für seine normalen Angriffe und „Endstation“ zu kommen.
„Zeitkrümmung“ ist ideal, um Verbündeten bei einem fliehenden Gegner zu helfen oder selbst zu entkommen.
„Zeitverschiebung“ ist eine sehr wirksame Abschreckung gegen einen Angriff auf deine Carries, aber wenn du „Zeitverschiebung“ zu früh im Kampf einsetzt, kann es dazu führen, dass der Feind die Ziele zu schnell wechselt und der Zauber weniger effektiv ist.
Du kannst „Zeitbombe“ und „Zurückspulen“ zusammen nutzen, um „Zeitbombe“ 2-mal schneller hintereinander auf ein Ziel anzuwenden. Durch Anbringen der 2. Bombe detoniert die 1. und betäubt alle Gegner in der Nähe.
