5 For Likho, you can go ahead and pick off anything you see that isnt protected by (enough) AA. Ofc, its better to target stuff like shieldballs or emissaries, but one thing i learn is that if you ONLY target vauleable targets, you either idle your Likhos for a very long time, or you just suicides them into AA, or maybe even both.Its really easy to unintentionally do so. 5 For Likho, you can go ahead and pick off anything you see that isnt protected by (enough) AA.

27 Click the shield icon, turn on everything in there, Might look abit messy at first but its really useful. If its too messy for you then i suggest to only turn on AA + Anti range. 27 Click the shield icon, turn on everything in there, Might look abit messy at first but its really useful.
