Awilix

How to play Awilix

Awilix is a melee assassin from the Maya pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Awilix in the Jungle.

In your kit, Summon Suku (ride panther, leap off) is your way in and out of fights. Feather Step (backflip damage root) and Moonlight Charge (damage, conditional knock-up) are your crowd control. Your ultimate is Gravity Surge (pull airborne enemy), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Initiative: stronger first strikes.

Community guides level Moonlight Charge, Feather Step and Summon Suku first. Max Feather Step first, then Moonlight Charge, then Summon Suku.

Your job is to find and defeat a fragile target, usually the enemy mage or hunter. Do not start fights head on: wait for someone to use their escape or step out of position, then strike. In the jungle, clear your camps quickly and help other lanes by ambushing enemies who have used their escape.

Start with Hunter's Cowl, then buy Jotunn's Revenge. Buy it early, because it grows with every kill and assist. Your core is Hydra's Lament and Dagger of Frenzy, and you finish with The Crusher, Heartseeker and Avatar's Parashu. A good relic is Sundering Arc. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

Top players win most often against Morgan Le Fay, Jormungandr and Cabrakan, and struggle against Da Ji, Hades or Xbalanque. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
