Gameplay guide
Roger is a jungle fighter-marksman who freely changes between ranged human form and melee wolf form. Human attacks deal extra damage based on the target's current HP and prepare the target with a slow and defense reduction; wolf attacks deal extra damage based on lost HP and are designed to chase and finish.
Use human range and Hunter's Steps to clear and rotate, preserving health for the first Turtle. Open Fire's defense reduction makes the following attacks and transformation more valuable, so do not start a gank by blindly entering wolf form. Take fights where lane control or an already-spent escape makes the finish reliable.
Approach in human form, slow and reduce defense with Open Fire, add ranged attacks while the target is healthy, then transform to apply the heavy slow and chase. Use Lycan Pounce to dodge a key skill or secure a reset, and return to human form for its shield when the melee window becomes unsafe.
Hit the safest target from human range while watching for a carry to fall below the threshold that activates Bloodthirsty Howl's movement bonus. A low target is not automatically safe if allies can peel; wait for control to be used, then use wolf mobility for the finish and reset.
A low-health target is not automatically safe; check nearby peel before giving up human range and committing to melee.
Use Lycan Pounce when an important skill is about to land so its untargetable window avoids damage, not only as a finishing attack.
Start against healthy targets in human form to use range and the HP-based damage bonus, then transform after they are low enough to chase.
Use human form while current-HP damage is strongest, apply the slow and defense reduction, then transform once the target is softened. Pounce after entering wolf form, ideally to avoid retaliation or secure a kill/assist reset.
Against an already-low target, enter wolf form for the slow, use the movement and attack-speed buff, and Pounce for the finish. Roll back to human form for distance and the temporary shield instead of remaining inside the enemy team.
