Overview
Thanatos is an early-game assassin who can execute enemies below a health threshold with his ultimate. His kit revolves around snowballing early kills into a lead, but he falls off hard in the late game if he doesn't get ahead.

Tips & Strategy
- Hovering Death (ult) has an execute threshold shown by a skull icon over low-health enemies. Dive them for a guaranteed kill.
- Death Scythe heals you on hit. In jungle, use it on large camps to sustain without backing.
- Play aggressively before level 10. Thanatos falls off late game, so build a lead early through constant ganking.
