Twisted Fate is a Burst Mage that deals magic (AP) damage and brings stun, slow. Their hard CC is tenacity-reducible, so Mercury's Treads and tenacity items shorten their lockdown. Below is Twisted Fate's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.

COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASTwisted Fate
- Coordinate with your allies for the best time to use Destiny to ambush enemies.
- Stealth characters often escape a battle with very low hit points. Take advantage of Destiny's ability to reveal stealthed units to finish them off.
- Twisted Fate is viable as an Attack Damage or Ability Power character, letting him fit on many different team compositions.
PLAYING AGAINSTTwisted Fate
- Focus on dodging Wild Cards early when your champion doesn't have the hit points to afford getting hit.
- If you have low Health, use Destiny as an indicator to run to safety. It will give you a head start in escaping any possible ganks.
