Threat Hero Notes
1
 Adagio As a roam, Adagio doesn't provide any counters to Blackfeather; depend on your support to Crucible his Verse of Judgement
1
 Celeste Stick onto her and Reflex Block her stuns

 Glaive You are literally a counter to Glaive; reposition with Rose Offensive if you are desperate or thank him for bringing you closer to his carry
1
 Taka Carry flares and he's dead
2
 Krul You are literally a counter to Krul in every single way; don't worry about this guy unless you are getting outfarmed a lot
3
 Ardan Use Rose Offensive to counter the Gauntlet; Shiversteel counters Ardan's Vanguard for his allies
4
 Koshka A Koshka can out-damage you early game, but late game, she falls off; Reflex Block her stun
5
 Kestrel Close gaps between yourself and Kestrel with your execute and slows
5
 Ringo Ringo's slow and movement speed bonus with Twirling Silver can counter you. Shiversteel him and use your abilities to close gaps
6
   No Threat
7
 Catherine Watch the stun and silence! Learn to rely on Breaking Point stacks to counter Catherine's debuffs and make sure not to execute her when her shield is up
7
 Skaarf Skaarf can dish out immense damage at very long range; Be careful late game and let your support tank shots
7
 Vox Vox can escape from your clutches with his Sonic Zoom and dish incredible damage late game; Target him hard and grab an Aegis quickly
8
 Skye Skye's ability to reposition quickly is a great counter to you; Don't focus too much on her and aim for the other carry

ABILITIES Top

Heroic Perk

Blackfeather applies Heartthrob stacks each time he attacks an enemy, displayed as hearts. When Blackfeather reaches 5 stacks (displayed as broken hearts), that is the maximum.

A Ability

This closes gaps well, but try to save it for enemies with 5 Heartthrob stacks. When Blackfeather uses this ability on an enemy with 5 (full) Heartthrob stacks, it will execute the target for weapon damage.
You will want to rush the Overdrive on this ability, as it is your main source of damage and synergizes well with Breaking Point stacks. Also, enemies that are hit with Blackfeather's A will leave a trail of rose dust, and when allies walk through this trail, they gain movement speed.

B Ability

This ability, when hitting an enemy, will apply one Heartthrob stack, and will grant Blackfeather a health barrier, scaling with maximum health. The overdrive on this is not a crucial rush, but should always be taken, as it grants a substantially larger range (9) than the normal range (7).

Ultimate

Rose Offensive, when activated, will cause Blackfeather to move towards the targeted location, also throwing basic attacks to anybody he cuts through. While active, Blackfeather is granted a large amount of armor and shield, also blocking debuffs.
Try to save the Ultimate for necessary situations, although it can be used at other times. I will go more in-depth in the utility of this ability in the next chapter.

TACTICS Top


    Blackfeather does not have much potential to score kills in the lane until mid-game, until he has a Shiversteel and more damage. Instead, try poking frequently with his B ability both to damage the enemy laner and negate any poke they attempt to throw onto you.

    Blackfeather has the ability to last hit without much caution, with his A ability. If a minion is at low health and you cannot auto-attack it again, use his A ability on the minion to secure the CS.

    When Blackfeather gets his Shiversteel, ganks are extremely easy. Trigger the active and use Rose Offensive, followed by his A ability to grant allies movement speed to catch up and secure the kill.

    In teamfights, try to use Rose Offensive to block debuffs like Atlas Pauldron (although a Reflex Block is a better bet), stuns, silences, and specific abilities like Ringo's Hellfire Brew. Also attempt to, when using it, cut through all or most enemies to maximize damage output.

    Save executes with Blackfeather's A ability until you have a considerable amount of Breaking Point stacks in order to maximize health gains with your Serpent Mask.

    Attempt to kill enemies with Blackfeather's A ability whenever possible. When an enemy is killed within 0.5 seconds of an execute, the cooldown on his A is completely reset and able to be used again instantly.

    In the late game, with a completed build, attempt to always carry two infusions. Blackfeather with both Crystal and Weapon Infusions is a major threat and presence in teamfights, mostly due to cooldown reduction, attack speed, gained shield and armor, and bonus crystal and weapon damage.
