Arrr, Only when enemy healing is deciding fights
Oblivion Orb
Arrr, Oblivion Orb supplies healing reduction without committing to a completed Morellonomicon. Skip both when healing is not the problem or an ally already covers your target reliably. Healing reduction does not reduce shields.

Shurelya's Battlesong
Shurelya's movement speed helps th' crew engage or disengage when positioning be th' problem.
Arrr, Situational AP purchase
Arrr, When should you buy anti-heal?
Arrr, Buy healing reduction when enemy healing or regeneration is deciding fights and you can keep damaging the relevant target. Grievous Wounds reduces healing; it does not reduce shields, magic damage or crowd control.
Arrr, Start with the component
Arrr, Oblivion Orb can provide healing reduction without immediately paying for a completed Morellonomicon. Fit the component around your core damage, mana and survival needs; check the current queue's item tooltip.
Arrr, Finish when it fits the fight
Arrr, Complete Morellonomicon when its stats and slot efficiency suit your build. Do not treat it as a mandatory first item just because your champion deals magic damage.
Arrr, Coordinate coverage
Arrr, Multiple Grievous Wounds sources do not add their percentages together. Another reliable applier may cover the same target, but you may still need your own source for a separate fight or target.
Arrr, Repeated spell damage and damage over time can maintain coverage more reliably than a single hit. Match the purchase to your actual spell access, enemy sustain and the teammates who can apply the debuff.
Arrr, Will the fight last long enough?
Arrr, If you die before dealing damage, you apply no healing reduction. If your target dies before healing, there is little healing to prevent. The debuff applies on qualifying damage immediately; it does not need to build up. It remains briefly after your last hit, so teammates can benefit even after you disengage.
Arrr, Only healing during the active debuff counts. For example, 40% reduction prevents 80 of a 200-point heal, or 400 of a 1,000-point heal, before other modifiers. Compare that with the damage, penetration or survival you delayed; neither example guarantees a kill. Healing after the debuff expires is unaffected.
Arrr, See the Arrr, oblivion Orb and Arrr, Morellonomicon Arrr, references for current effects and queue availability. These are situational decisions, not a measured best-build claim.

Adapt th' course
What to do when th' battle changes
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Ahead course
Use course control to secure vision and seaworthy pressure
Course
Deny space wit' yer course partner, but keep th' carry moored to th' wave instead o' roaming at every opportunity.
Sea chart play
Move first aboard wit' an ally, establish vision and protect th' course yer crew will use to enter.
Fights
Set sail only when crewmates can follow, then change to peel if an foe reaches th' protected carry.
Even course
Balance course pressure wit' protection fer th' carry
Course
Hold th' trick that makes foes respect yer course and trade when both Bot-course partners be shipshape.
Sea chart play
Recall and move on seaworthy wave timings; an unsupported roam can cost th' carry an entire wave or a dive.
Fights
Control one approach and keep enough protection fer th' foe's most likely engage.
Behind course
Protect seaworthy farm and rebuild vision one area at a time
Course
Stay fer a crashing wave, block a dive and avoid spending th' key defensive trick on low-value poke.
Sea chart play
Enter darkness wit' another sailor and ward th' nearest useful entrance instead o' reaching fer deep vision.
Fights
Peel first aboard and punish overextension. A blind engage rarely repairs a losing battle.
Pings, movement and prizes
Thresh Support sea chart course
Reveal th' engage afore casting it. Yer best set sail be one yer Bot carry and Jungler can reach.
Make th' lead open th' sea chart
- Ping
- Use On Me Way afore changing angle, then Assist Me on Dragon after Bot be seaworthy to move. Use Peril if th' carry starts following through an unsafe course.
- Sea chart movement
- Roam after a pushed wave, shared recall or when th' carry can collect safely. Deep wards still require th' Jungler or another nigh th' ship ally.
- Prize
- Arrive early, clear th' deck th' foe entrance and hold th' key engage or peel spell. Do nay chase astern from Dragon and hand th' foe a free course back aboard in.
Create one clear th' deck numbers advantage
- Ping
- Use On Me Way afore an engage or roam, Foe Lost overboard as soon as a course foe disappears, and Peril when yer carry cannae follow.
- Sea chart movement
- Leave only on a seaworthy wave or recall timing. If th' carry would meet defeat a full wave or face a dive, stay Bot and communicate that ye be nay moving.
- Prize
- Lend a hand Bot finish th' wave, then enter river wit' th' Jungler. Set vision afore starting and avoid turning an even prize into an unseen gamble.
Stop th' next aboard defeat afore seeking a play
- Ping
- Use Retreat or Peril afore an ally enters darkness, Foe Lost overboard immediately, and Assist Me when ye need company to restore defensive vision.
- Sea chart movement
- Do nay abandon a crashing wave or vulnerable carry. Move after th' wave be stable and use th' nearest seaworthy ward line rather than forcing deep vision.
- Prize
- If yer crew cannae enter river safely, ping Retreat and trade fer farm, vision or another sea chart resource. Contest only after creating a seaworthy course together.
Prize setup
Arrr, four calls, in order
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
- 1Afore th' move
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
- 2Arrr, enter together
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
- 3Afore starting
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
- 4During th' contest
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
