will fire all its missiles at one target.
Excels at poking from a safe distance, especially before teamfights. This is especially true when

is upgraded.
Functions well as a follow-up diver with

with her high damage. Also doubles as an escape tool.
For AD, Best with items enhancing attack damage, critical strike, and attack speed.
