The JACOB LASH Tutorial

How to play Lash....

The Lore of Jacob Lash...

We're starting with the lore, uh, because its funny.

Here is Jacob Lash' fate tale "Jacob Lash is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥." It is a 69 hour read, longer than actually writing the "Moby ♥♥♥♥.

The Ground Strike

So his first one is called "Ground Strike." And just does this:

What it does is it stomps the ground beneath you, damaging enemies that are right in front of you. If your already in the air while doing the ground strike, you will immediately dive down.

It has 90 stomp damage, and 6 damage per meter. It also has 11 meters, and an 18 second cooldown.

The first time you upgrade you will have 10 seconds off the cooldown.

The second time you upgrade, whenever you do the ground strike, the people in front of you are popped into the air and they are slowed 50% for 3 seconds.

The fifth time you upgrade your damage per meter will be upped by 110% and will have improved scaling.

The Grapple

His second ability is "Grapple" and this is what his ability does:

You pull yourself through the air towards the selected target. It also restores one stamina charge and all jumps and air dashes.

The grapple has 30 meters of reach, 1 energy, 2 seconds of whatever that little bolt does, 40 seconds of cooldown time, and has 20m/s of jump velocity.

The first time you upgrade you will get 20 seconds off of cooldown time.

The second time you upgrade the grapple ability you have 20 more meters of casting range. And you also gain +6 weapon damage for 10 seconds.

The fifth time you upgrade you will get +20% fire rate to weapon bonus buff.

The Flog

His third one is the "Flog", here is what it is supposed to do:

It strikes enemies with your whip, damaging them, or more like "stealing life from them".

The flog has 25 meters of range, with 30 seconds of cooldown time. And a 30% heal vs non-heroes, such as the aliens, the troops, guardians, base guardians which are practically just the same as the normal guardians, the walker, and the patron. It has 65 damage, 80% heal vs non-heroes and 30 attack angle.

The first time you upgrade the flog it will apply 35% movement slowing for 3 seconds to enemies you whip.

The second time you upgrade the flog, it takes away 15 seconds from the cooldown time.

And the third time you upgrade the mighty flog, your damage will be upped to 105.

Last but not Least. The Death Slam!

The Death Slam is the ultimate ability for Jacob Lash, and because it is the ultimate, it has a very long read, and is a very good ability. So I will just quote VALVe on this:

"Focus on enemies to connect whips to them. After channeling, connected enemies are lifted and stunned then slammed into the ground. Your victims and any enemies in the landing zone will be damaged and slowed."
You can also left click to let go of the enemy early. And if an enemy is not in line of sight or is not in the range to grab them, they will not be grabbed.

The death slam has 2 seconds of charge, 18 meters of range, 130 seconds of cooldown time. 50% movement slow with 4 seconds of slow duration, and 0.3 seconds of charging time. 115 Damage and 12 meters of max throwing distance.

The first time you upgrade the almighty death slam, you will have 8 more meters added to max throwing distance.

Second time you upgrade the almighty death slam, you are gonna have 100 more damage points affecting enemies.

And the third time you upgrade the legendary almighty death slam, you will have only 60 seconds subtracted of the cooldown time.

A good use for the death slam would be if there are multiple enemies in your bases pit while they try and defeat the weakened patron, you could then bring them all inside of your spawn location where they would be easily killed.

Here comes the Curiosity Shop.

The upgrades are up at the "Curiosity Shop" which I think you'll be able to figure out what that looks like when you get into the tutorial. A quick way of seeing what that looks like is just going into either "Sandbox" mode, or going into the resources.

There are VALVe recommendations in the "Curiosity Shop" which are may or may not have good upgrades to use as any character. So I'd recommend you try out the recommendations in the "Curiosity Shop" right now and also try looking at builds inside of the official discord server.

You can also choose different upgrades to use for this character, and create your own build you think would do good in games, by using the resources menu.

And gameplay!

(Note: this part will be updated over time and is not really finished)

Here we go with the abilities, the first ability I would grab would be the flog, since you would be able to heal if you are in a losing fight. Second ability I would definitely use would be the grapple, which you could use to go to fight enemies. And the third ability I would use often would be the ground strike, which you could use the grapple and then ground strike. Oh yeah, almost forgot, the death slam. I would use the death slam whenever there are multiple enemies on a lane, or they are defending their patron, which is seriously helpful.

And like the other part where I discussed about the Curiosity Shop, I will talking about when to buy upgrades at certain points. The early game you want to get Close Quarters, Monster Rounds, Mystic Reach, and Mystic Burst. You can also choose whatever you want to use for early game, but these are some upgrades I would use. In the middle of the game I would get Spirit Armor, and Cold Front, which are some pretty good upgrades if you have the grapple ability ready. And in the late game, I would get Fortitude, Improved Burst, Rapid Recharge, and Improved Reach, and you should select the death slam to use with Improved Reach. There is also a guide talking about builds, which you can find here by PapaTraffy: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3316386302

Already done? Really?

And we're done now. Hope you had a good time reading on how Jacob Lash, Jacob Lashes! And I also wish you understood all of it as well. Well have a good time playing Lash now, goodbye!
