AD Carry

Twitch Build 26.22

Twitch turns invisibility into a wrecking ball. Stack Deadly Venom with your autos, vanish with Ambush to flank, and pop Spray and Pray to send piercing shots down a whole team. He is middle of the pack at 49.8% and sliding this patch, and from stealth he can delete a backline before they know he is there. He is an ambush carry who wins fights he starts on his own terms, not a stand-and-shoot laner.

When Is Twitch Strongest?

The strong window is the later mid-game, once the build is mostly online, and games at this rank average around 29 minutes. Twitch wins by reaching the point where a single stealth flank ends a fight, so the plan is to farm safely to his item spikes and then ambush the grouped enemy from an angle they cannot see.

Twitch Item Build

Twitch is a stealth hypercarry who sneaks into range and melts an entire team once his crossbow opens up. The build stacks attack speed and crit so his poison piles on fast and his ultimate turns a teamfight into a line of pierced, bleeding targets.

Best Twitch Runes

Lethal Tempo matches the way his ult wants him swinging nonstop. With Spray and Pray up he is auto-attacking straight through the enemy team, and the keystone rewards that uninterrupted stream of hits. Build the rest for attack speed and survivability so a stealth flank becomes a full team wipe.

Build The Collector into Fiendhunter Bolts and play for the moment your ult can catch the whole team. A rough lane is survivable here, since the payoff is in scaling. Once Fiendhunter Bolts comes online around 18 minutes, a Spray and Pray from stealth shreds an entire formation in seconds. Farm safe, flank from the fog, and unload once that power spikes.

Twitch Skill Order

Levels 4 and 5 hand Contaminate two ranks in consecutive levels, so the poison payoff jumps hardest right there. Ambush holds a single point until level 8, and Venom Cask waits even longer at 14.

Twitch Abilities

Venom Cask is the tool that is not just stealth, a lobbed pot that slows a group and paints them all with poison from range. Contaminate then pays that off, blasting every enemy his venom is already stuck to. Ambush even refreshes the moment a poisoned champion dies.

Twitch Matchups

Twitch has almost no range until his ultimate, so early aggression and heavy vision that denies his stealth make his life hard. He punishes immobile, grouped teams the most, since one ambush from the flank lets his poison and the piercing ultimate rip through the whole line at once.

Sweepers and hard engage let Seraphine, Nilah, and Aurelion Sol strip his stealth or lock him down the instant he shows, so ward for pinks and choose a safe flank. He preys on Katarina, Veigar, and Viktor, ambushing immobile carries and shredding grouped teams with his ult before they scatter. Wait for the fight to commit, hit the flank from the fog, and let the poison and piercing autos clean up.
