Glyph Notes
Adds a dispel effect to Icy Touch. We press this button a lot, and getting a bonus dispel is good in almost every matchup. HARD LOCK - Always use this glyph regardless of matchup.
Makes AMS absorb ALL magic damage. Essential survivability against casters. Soft-lock. Swap out if no casters on enemy team.
Great for sniping CC like Poly, Hex, and Fear. Can even steal major defensives like Bubble and Ice Block. Soft-lock. High skill ceiling glyph.
Swap in if there are no casters on the enemy team. Flex glyph. Replace AMS glyph when appropriate.
Gives a shorter potential cooldown on AMS. Use if there are casters but you are NOT the kill target. Flex glyph. Alternative to AMS glyph.
Great for training down healers, especially in 2v2. Offensive flex glyph.
Swap in specifically against double DPS teams for slightly more bulk if needed. Defensive flex glyph for 2v2.
