Lina relies on stacking Fiery Soul through spell hits and on bursting with Light Strike Array into Laguna Blade. Laguna Blade has a 0.25 second delay that lets certain abilities avoid the damage, while Dragon Slave slips past spell block and reflect. Fiery Soul only refreshes its duration when her spells hit, so avoiding those hits lets her stacks expire.
Counter items
