Learn which items answer Wraith’s threats, how to play the lane, and when to commit or disengage.
Buy for the threat you are facing. These are situational options, not a build to purchase in full. Tap an item for its breakdown.
Use movement and vertical routes against cards, and keep cover or an escape available for Telekinesis. Force cards or mobility before committing your own burst. Choose a weapon-defense answer for sustained gun pressure, while proactive control protection addresses the ultimate setup.
Unstoppable is generally the more reliable ultimate answer, Plated Armor slows her on-hit/card buildup, and Disarming Hex or Metal Skin directly attacks the gun damage.
Identify what is losing the exchange, then use the answer and timing below.
UnstoppableWhat to do: Prepare Unstoppable for Telekinesis and activate it before control prevents the response, then leave the follow-up angle.
Why it helps: Telekinesis is an ultimate effect that Dispel Magic does not remove, and proactive immunity avoids relying on a narrow reaction window.
Plated ArmorWhat to do: Build Plated Armor when repeated weapon on-hit buildup is driving the trade.
Why it helps: Its chances to deflect bullets and prevent on-hit application can slow the pressure that supplies Wraith’s repeated weapon and card value.
Disarming HexWhat to do: Disarm her during the burst window or use Metal Skin if you need personal survival.
Why it helps: Counter the actual damage source instead of spending every slot on the lift.
Rusted BarrelWhat to do: Buy Rusted Barrel as an early pressure answer.
Why it helps: Slowing her fire rate reduces how quickly she builds weapon and card value and can stabilize the lane before you need a more expensive bullet-defense item.
Telekinesis is not removable this way. Prepare proactive control protection and an escape route for that threat.
Create a more vulnerable window first so your damage is not spent into an easy reposition.
