How to play

Early game · first 8 minutes
Use Essence Bomb to pressure the wave and Life Drain when the target cannot simply walk out. Track your own health because your damage costs you health too. Keep the second enemy from turning a good drain into a losing 2v1.
Mid game
Use Malice before the committed damage so Life Drain and the rest of your kit hit harder. Save Soul Exchange for a health swing that changes the fight, not a healthy tank who gives you little value.
Late game
Stack Malice on the important target, use Life Drain to stay alive, and hold Soul Exchange until it can reverse a real health advantage. Do not spend yourself to half health unless you have a credible way to recover or swap.
