Assassin / Catcher
Beginner Rule
Don't stay low health around Pyke — Death From Below (R) becomes much more dangerous when you're in execute range.
Pyke is an assassin support who excels at picks, roams, and cleaning up fights. He wants to land Bone Skewer (Q) — his hook ability — before bursting targets down and finishing them with Death From Below (R). Many beginners underestimate how quickly Pyke can turn a low-health target into a reset chain.

QWhat it does
Stabs an enemy in front of him, OR at range: pulls an enemy toward him.
How to play against
At long range he pulls you toward him. Dodge the long-range pull — it's a skillshot. At close range the stab is an execute tool.
WWhat it does
Enters Camouflage gaining significant Move Speed.
How to play against
He goes invisible after a failed engage to reset. Never feel safe after he goes invisible.
EWhat it does
Dashes and leaves a phantom. The phantom stuns enemies on its return path.
How to play against
The stun is on the return path of the phantom, not the dash. Sidestep where the phantom is returning through.
RWhat it does
Blinks to and executes champions below the execute threshold. Grants extra gold to allies. Resets on successful execute.
How to play against
Stay above the execute HP threshold. His R resets on kill — one kill can chain into your entire team.

R Execute → Reset → Repeat

Gift of the Drowned Ones: excess healing from non-kills converts to bonus max health. He has a hidden HP pool beyond his visible HP. Also grants gold to assisting allies on execute.
