Tips & Tricks
Claude takes marksmen on-hit effects to the next level, with Dexter joining the fray and giving Claude the ability to stack on-hit effects unlike any other marksmen could dream of.
His playstyle consists of stacking up as many on-hit effects as he can and using his Basic Attacks and abilities to stack them and debuff enemies.
As a marksman, Claude gains power as the match goes on. However, because he has Dexter and a variety of ways to stack effects on enemies, his base stats are fairly weak. It is important for him to keep his range advantage for as long as possible, poking enemies and providing sustained damage per second in team fights.
Items
Claude’s items center around stacking on-hit effects and having them easily proc, with Demon Hunter Sword giving him a nice powerspike thanks to its bonus physical damage that scales off the target’s current health.
Golden Staff is another core item for Claude, allowing him to make up for his weaker base damage by giving him three basic attacks in one when stacking the item’s passive.
Items like Corrosion Scythe allow Claude to slow enemies, comboing perfectly with the burst damage in his ultimate.
Abilities
As a marksman, Claude’s damage primarily comes from his ranged Basic Attacks. However, he brings nice utility to himself and his team with his abilities.
Art of Thievery takes away enemy movement and Attack Speed, perfect when dueling enemy marksmen in lane or crippling enemy teams as a whole in team fights. Even better, Claude buffs his own stats in the process, making this a great move to use when initiating with your teammates.
Battle Mirror Image gives Claude some decent mobility, uncommon for a marksman. The mirror image can be used to increase damage output when playing safely or saved to make a quick getaway, casting it in the direction you wish to go and then immediately trading places with it. Try to find a happy medium of using the move offensively and defensively to maximize both Claude’s damage and survivability. Keep an eye on enemy assassins and try to have the move ready when you’re unsure where they’re at; Claude is particularly squishy and, besides his ultimate, lacks burst damage and hard crowd control.
Claude is able to burst down enemies and clean up team fights with his ultimate. Blazing Duet enjoys the on-hit effects of his Basic Attack, helping him cleave through enemies easily. It also generates a shield, giving him some survivability in exchange for sacrificing his safe positioning. Claude needs to be in the thick of the fight for Blazing Duet, but don’t use it at the expense of your life. Try to use the ability to clean up low health targets, executing them when necessary, and try to use it with teammates fighting alongside you for protection.
Emblems
Claude benefits most from the Assassin emblem page, with upgrades in Agility and Invasion giving him added movement speed and physical penetration. You can opt for Bravery over Agility against team compositions where kiting enemy tanks won’t be hard, gaining some extra base damage.
The Bounty Hunter talent grants extra gold for kills, helping Claude acquire his expensive damage items more quickly and snowball faster.
