A guide to Arena of Valor's Lauriel, the archangel. Lauriel Blinks around the battlefield, dealing large amounts of damage to enemies unlucky enough to get caught by her high damage abilities.

Lauriel is a very mobile mage/assassin who can deal a lot of damage while constantly regenerating health. She is best played focusing on items that increase her cooldown speed and durability. This cooldown reduction will also increase her mobility through Blink, making her as potent in escapes as she is in attacking.

Tanks can’t bully Lauriel well since she will generally be able to stay out of their influence with Blink. Lauriel, on the other hand, will be able to rough them up with her own damage. The true damage of her passive will go a long way in cutting them down.

Lauriel will similarly be able to do well against warriors. Their melee range will make it easy for Lauriel to stay out of their influence with Blink as well as keep them within Smite’s area.

Assassins can easily be burst down by Lauriel’s spells, however she can similarly be burst down by their damage as well. Her main advantage when facing assassins is the ability to stay out of their range with Blink. That said, mind any gap closers they might have to get close once again. Wait for your team’s tank to engage before going in yourself so that the tank draws the assassin’s fire.

Mages can be run down by Lauriel as well since most mages are squishy and thereby easy to burst. Her main problem will be getting caught by their control abilities or burst down from outside of her shorter range. Try to Blink ontop of the mages during team fights, Blinking to avoid their skill shots.

Lauriel can Blink close to marksmen, eliminating their range advantage. Bursting them down will become rather simple after their range advantage has been eliminated. They should be focused first, as their damage can be a big problem and isn’t avoidable with Blink. Make sure that they are caught inside of Smite’s area so that they cannot attack you from outside of your influence.

Supports have a lot of control abilities, which are a big counter to Lauriel. If the support is able to lock her down, she won’t be able to move as much and will be very vulnerable to attacks as a result. Do your best to avoid their control, using Blink to dodge any skillshots.
