"Predecessor" - Scarlett Trivia Quiz

Answer: Offlane

Literally listed as a 'duelist', the lane where 1v1 duels happen all game long is perfect for Scarlett. Her kit is based on around striking swiftly and harshly while being nimble and difficult to retaliate against. All three of Scarlett's abilities involve her moving in some way, enabling her to attack and dodge at the same time if in the hands of a skilled player.

Scarlett has also been recommended for the Jungle. Unfortunately, at her release, she was very poorly optimized for this role, with even Omeda Studios themselves acknowledging this. Instead of remove Jungle as a recommendation, Omeda opted to release a series of patches which gradually made Scarlett a better Jungler, while balancing the need to not make her oppressively good in the Offlane.

Answer: 7 (Ability/Mobility) and 4 (Basic/Durability)

This stat build is actually stronger than it appears at first glance, and makes Scarlett incredibly malleable and flexible. The Ability Power of 7 fuels her incredible mobility and focused damage output, letting her operate in lane effectively. A Mobility of 7 is essentially energized by her strong Abilities, namely First Intent. Basic of 4 isn't to be ignored as, though not the absolute highest, it's high enough to let the player opt for items which are centered around Basics and help in other ways, such as Overlord or Mutilator. Finally, a 4 for Durability allows Scarlett to be a bit harder to kill than the average assassin while being just as agile or more compared to them.

Answer: 10 energy/second

This allows Scarlett to completely unleash her kit on someone, then be utterly topped off and ready to do it again in a bare minimum of 20 seconds. Additionally, each of Scarlett's Abilities will lightly refund their Energy cost if Scarlett actually lands hits against enemies with them.

As such, it's not terribly likely that the player will be caught utterly flat-footed and out of Energy mid-duel.

Answer: Target's Missing HP

Minueta's third and final stab carries a Psuedo-Execute, letting it deal up to slightly more than twice as much damage depending on the target's missing HP. That makes Minueta a pretty fantastic fight closer. However, because it's just a good all purpose Ability with a low cooldown, it's also a pretty great fight opener and something to use in the middle of said fight too!

Of course, as it does cost 80 Energy to cast, the player must ensure they are actually landing it. Each stab which successfully strikes either an enemy player, monster or Objective will refund 10 of the Energy cost. This will allow the player to use it liberally if used with care.

Answer: Land the first hit successfully

When cast, Ashen Vow features Scarlett swing her lantern in a circle around her. If the initial swing strikes either an enemy player or Objective, Scarlett will then perform a narrow flip kick in front of her before swinging her lantern downward for Ashen Vow's second hit.

While the first hit is far from weak, the second hit is the breadwinner of this Ability. If facing an especially tanky foe such as Steel or Rampage, landing this flipkick is paramount to having enough damage to plausibly threaten them.

Answer: It (mostly) passes through other dashes

Most dashes in this game can be interrupted, and Scarlett's isn't quite special. What is special about it, however, is that it can be used to harmlessly pass through opposing dashes, with the exception of Steel's Bullrush which easily knocks her aside.

Boris' Ursine Burst and Bayle's Kingslayer are explictly designed to 'catch' another character's dash and interrupt it. However, First Intent effortlessly slices right through these two attacks while suffering no damage or interruption in the process.

Answer: Restrained

Restrained is essentially Stun and Root combined, although in a way which uniquely cannot be Cleansed. That makes Restrained just the fourth status effect in this game's history which cannot be Cleansed, joining Knock Up, Knock Back and Suspend.

Answer: Basic Attacks

For the next several seconds, after using Swan Song, Scarlett's basic attack thrusts will leave behind a small rupture in the ground. The rupture leaves behind a small section of fire that Slows and damages enemies which step into it.

Answer: Heal allies

The healing aura remains in effect for several seconds. The rate of healing per second is based on the Scarlett player's Physical Power stat.

Answer: First Intent

Every single non-Minueta method of dealing damage will reduce First Intent's cooldown by 8%. Each stab from Minueta itself will do this by 5% instead.

As this is clearly based around First Intent, it's ideal for Jungle Scarlett. Having First Intent more readily available makes it easier to properly ambush and/or run down enemies.
