Core Talents

Long Shot

This is the defining talent of the build.

• Effect: Damage scales with distance from the target.
• Optimal Range: 30+ meters.
• Usage: Always initiate combat at maximum range. Use slows to maintain the gap.

Camouflage

Survival and ambush are key for a Sniper.

• Effect: Grants Invisibility after remaining stationary for 3 seconds.
• Bonus: The first attack out of Camouflage deals 150% critical damage.
• Strategy: Find a bush or high ground, wait for the buff, and open with your hardest-hitting ability.

Best Equipment

• Weapon: Hextech Rifle
  • The Hextech Rifle offers slower fire rates but significantly higher base damage per shot compared to bows, which synergizes perfectly with the “Long Shot” burst window.
• Stats: Focus on Crit Chance and Attack Power. Attack Speed is secondary for this build.

Playstyle Tips

1. Positioning: You are a glass cannon. If an enemy closes the gap, you lose your damage bonus from Long Shot.
2. Traps: Always lay a root trap in front of your sniping position to catch flankers.
3. Rotation: Camouflage -> Snipe (Opener) -> Explosive Shot -> Disengage (if agro).

Mastering the distance is the key to mastering the Sniper in Corepunk.
