Fill Death Well fast with Reap/Sow/Gloom, release Exalted Shadow, melee delete. Shadow Haze adds crit and extra Shadows on Harvest deaths.

Death Well fills from kills and ability assists. At full Well, Exalted Shadow releases Shadow form with its own melee kit. Reap sends Shadow out and applies Death's Harvest. Sow plants detonatable death seeds. Gloom is a channeled slow / life-steal aura that also fills the Well. Dark Propagation spreads Sow on kill; Shadow Haze adds crit and extra Shadows.

• 1 Reap — Send Shadow outward with Death's Harvest. Shadow Haze adds crit and spawn Shadows on death.
• 2 Sow — Death seeds that Reap detonates. Dark Propagation spreads Sow on kill.
