Introduction

Hey, my name is AutoSpeed and I have been a Grandmaster + 3500 (MMR cap) in Conquest, Joust, and Duel in every recent season. I'm happy to share my knowledge of the game with everyone, and I appreciate any and all feedback!

Here are my channels:

Tsukuyomi Basics

Tsukuyomi's Abilities

Passive -

empowers his weapons when he damages enemies, dealing extra damage and restoring health or restoring mana, depending on which weapon is used, alternating every basic attack.

Shingestsu & Mangetsu becomes activated by almost every attack can do, and grants a minor sustain/damage bonus.

Ability 1 -

throws Shingetsu, damaging enemies within a line and stopping on the first enemy god hit.

His next basic attack becomes ranged, and will steal movement speed from the target hit. can reduce the cooldown of this ability by getting close to the affected god.

is your main poke ability, and should be used on cooldown.

Ability 2 -

swings his weapons to the left and right, damaging and disarming enemies hit. He then hits for a final center smash, doing extra damage and stunning enemies hit.

is a very powerful ability, as the disarm and stun leave most characters powerless. It's main drawback is it can be interrupted, and you must wait for it to finish channeling to take action. It is good at clearing jungle camps.

Ability 3 -

summons caltrops on the ground of his target location, damaging and slowing enemies hit. Enemies which move in the location are slowed and damaged until they stop moving or escape. Additionally, Mangetsu becomes empowered, granting Tsukuyomi a ranged basic attack which deals bonus damage.

is best used to cut off movement from the enemy, and is strong at stopping blinks.

When in combination with , you can restrict the enemies mobility while dealing strong damage from a distance away.

Ultimate -

becomes CC immune and takes reduced damage, and shoots out 4 long ranged beams of moonlight. Each beam can pierce multiple enemy gods.

Once all 4 beams have finished casting, dashes towards enemies hit, dealing massive damage. If the beams of moonlight hit the same target multiple times, Tsukuyomi will dash for extra damage, for up to 4 times on a single target. Once it is over, lands in front of the final enemy hit.

Ability Rotations:

Standard Poke:

> Auto Attack > > Auto Attack

Use to disengage if the enemies are close, or if you decide to commit.

If Blinked on:

Kusarigama > [[Dark Moon Shuriken > Auto Attack >

If the enemy can interrupt , choose to instantly instead.

If the enemies are already fighting a teammate or are at low health, initiate the fight with .

Keep in mind you are forced to dash once you hit someone with , so be prepared to commit once you use the ability.

Jungle Tutorial

Early Game:

Star at the Fire Giant side Speed Buff (or Red Buff), and group up the jungle camps with your mid laner. Once the Red and Speed buff jungle camps are cleared together, head towards your remaining speed buff. Your mid laner should help you clear this buff camp. Finally, head towards the exp camp near the Tier 1 Mid tower, presume you will clear this alone.
You now have 2 choices. You can stay in the Jungle towards the mid lane, looking for a gank on the enemy mid laner or clear the Mid-Harpies. The second option is to head straight to duo lane, and look for a gank on the enemy duo lane (and clear Scorpion). Heading to Duo lane has a greater risk, but much greater reward if successful.
With Tsukuyomi in the early skirmishes, pressure is usually determined by who can interrupt Kusarigama. If the enemy jungler cannot cancel or dodge the ability, you will be able to force them back. If they can, hang back and instead play to harass them from afar with Dark Moon Shuriken.
Your priorities should be: Buff Camps > Rotations > Harpies. It's important you get buff camps on cooldown, as you will fall behind in farm otherwise. However, if you try to get all the harpies, you won't have time to rotate and make an impact. Jungle is all about a balance of these, and the priority list should help clear up confusions.
Tsukuyomi has a powerful duo gank, as he has ranged slows, disarms, and a stun. This lane will be the easiest to grab a kill from, and should be your priority gank lane.
At level 5, Piercing Moonlight will deal a massive amount of damage, and most characters have difficulty avoiding it. It's drawback is the channel time, as enemies will have time to disengage and potentially bring you in unfavorable positions. Try to not use it near enemy towers, as they can trap you inside the tower radius.

Mid Game:

Begins around ~14 minutes, or when most people have hit Level 12 and unlocked their Second Relic. Most enemy teams have gotten around to warding by now, and team fights become increasingly common. Most builds have started to show effectiveness.
Prepare for Team fights or Objective fights, as they will be the most important factor in which team wins/looses from here on. You never want to be late, as you are the important finisher for low health enemies.
While you do have a strong jungle fight, it's better to play near your team, as your positioning is predictable once you use Piercing Moonlight.
Keep your range from the enemies, and poke with Dark Moon Shuriken and Silver Moon Caltrops. You can deal considerable damage to enemies from afar, which means you don't even have to all-in to do damage. This is unique to characters like Tsukuyomi, so take advantage of it. If the enemies group up or one of them took too much in damage, finish them off with Piercing Moonlight.

Late Game:

Almost everybody has hit Level 20, Fire Giant is the most important objective on the map. Starter items become unlocked at Level 20, which results in a damage/defensive spike. This means that everybody dies faster, and Team Fights are the most important thing.
Keep using Dark Moon Shuriken and Silver Moon Caltrops repeatedly to stop blinks and hit the enemies. Most enemy front liners struggle to get close enough to hit you, if they are capable of it then hang back and wait for your support/solo to make space.
You are powerful at keeping enemy junglers away, as Piercing Moonlight will do massive damage to enemies without Aegis Amulet, and most junglers will only have Blink Rune.
During the Siege Fight, try to split push. A very important piece of knowledge is the enhanced auto attacks from Dark Moon Shuriken and Silver Moon Caltrops have a longer range compared to normal auto attacks, and can damage structures/phoenix's. Tsukuyomi is able to hit the enemy phoenix from outside it's radius, which means he can 100 to 0 a phoenix without even taking damage! Enemy junglers may try to blink on you during this process if they see your abilities being down, but this is very powerful knowledge, especially when combined with Enhanced Fire Giant Buff.

Warding

Green = Early/Rotational wards, you don't go out of your way to place these wards. Place them while already in the area, they are used to prevent blind spots while you rotate. They also double as objective wards

Blue = Late game wards, you want to place them as high as possible without getting caught by the enemy doing so. They cut off chokepoints on the enemies side, which lets you know which side of the map they are on. Good wards for a Fire Giant fight

Final Advice

Tsukuyomi comes down to efficient usage of Piercing Moonlight, and playing the distance game. While he is an assassin, his damage and range are capable of rivaling hunters and mages. Play to your range at the start of the fight, and assassinate the enemies up close once they drop low in health.

Hey you finished! Next time you play Tsukuyomi, the enemies should be saying something similar to this: "Tsukuyo-OOOOHHH NOOOOOOO"
