Vengeful Spirit
Create a favorable target exchange with control and Nether Swap, then help the team use the new positions.
First check
Where will both heroes stand after Nether Swap, and who protects the ally you move?
Play as Vengeful Spirit
- Use Magic Missile with a lane partner who can reach the stunned target, then step back before the enemy response arrives.
- Treat Nether Swap as a position trade for both heroes. Name the ally follow-up and your own exit before committing.
- Use Wave of Terror to check a dangerous route or soften an objective approach while staying close enough to help the front line.
Play against Vengeful Spirit
- Keep the hero Vengeful Spirit wants to swap behind an additional layer of vision or control.
- After Nether Swap, watch both new positions; her team may be ready to punish the moved target while she needs protection.
- Do not bunch around one stunned ally when the enemy lineup can turn the first catch into several follow-up spells.
Make the lesson stick
For each Nether Swap, draw the two new hero positions and record which team gained a safer target or objective.
