Abilities Top

Double Shot - Silvernail loads an extra bolt into his crossbow which can be expended to chain a follow-up basic attack, dealing damage. The availability of Double Shot is shown by the white bar underneath his energy.
• Attack speed reduces load time.

- Early on, this gives Silvernail the ability to bully out laners, and if he gets to lategame he'll hit extremely hard with it.
- Whenever this is up, look for an opportunity to hit your opponent.
- Because this also scales with attack speed, it makes buying Tornado Trigger even more valuable as it helps him kite + deal more damage more often.

Stake - When Silvernail activates his first ability, he plants a Stake into the ground that can form a tripwire between any other nearby Stakes. This means that Silvernail can create tripwires in all kinds of configurations in order to best suit the battle at a given time.

Enemy heroes that cross through tripwires are briefly slowed, silenced and take damage over time. These tripwires will also block dashes.

- With this ability Silvernail is able to control the lane and play safely. I would recommend keeping at least one Stake in a bush nearby as to prepare for ganks or chases.
- As good as this ability is, do not constantly throw Stakes everywhere as his energy will drain very quickly.
- This ability is not being overdrived because as a WP Carry, this mostly provides utility and is not our main source of damage.

Caustic Blessing - Silvernail’s Caustic Blessing lobs a flask that deals damage in an area and reveals enemies hit for a short period of time.
- Refreshes Double Shot upon casting.

- This can be used to push waves, check bushes, and harass the enemy laner with some poke since the initial damage scales off of 100% WP.
- This ability is being maxed so we can refresh our Double Shot more often to keep dealing damage.

Rebuke - Fires a piercing bolt that deals damage and impales every enemy in its path. Those struck by the bolt are dragged along the path and are stunned if they collide into a wall, structure or tripwire.

- This is a skillshot and not a point-and-click ability.
- With your Stakes, keep one near you so you can push enemies back into Tripwires for stuns.
- This can also be used to peel enemies off of you so create distance.

Building Items Top

Sorrowblade - Silvernail really needs pure WP for his Double Shot to hit hard, so getting a Sorrowblade as a first item makes him extremely powerful.

Breaking Point - Almost always too good to pass up on. With how well Silvernail can kite and stay in teamfights, he can use this very well to build up stacks and deal more damage.

Tyrant's Monocle + Tornado Trigger - With Silvernail's 6.4 range and 3.5 speed, building crit will make him even better at kiting and building up Breaking Point stacks.

Spellsword - Though I wouldn't recommend it personally, it's a good choice if you want to be able to have energy and CDR to help in teamfights more often by having your Stakes up.
