Overview

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • +Passive resets enable extended teamfight presence and chain kills with proper execution
  • +Backstab (R) automatically targets lowest HP enemy, guaranteeing burst damage on priority targets with 60% damage reduction shield
  • +Sword Propel (W) provides both mobility and sustained damage boost, enabling gap-closing and extended duels

Weaknesses

  • Heavily reliant on getting kills/assists to function; falling behind early limits reset availability
  • No crowd control in kit makes him vulnerable to kiting and reliant on allies' CC for setup
  • Backstab's predictable targeting (lowest HP hero) allows enemies to position defensively and deny isolated picks

Strategy

Gameplan

Early Game

Levels 1–6
  • Farm safely and avoid unnecessary trades; early game without reset access is weak
  • Position near allies for assist opportunities to trigger passive resets early
  • Respect enemy CC—your low HP pool makes early engages punishing without team backup

Mid Game

Post Broken Spear
  • Abuse reset mechanics in skirmishes; one kill snowballs into chain damage with Backstab resets
  • Group for objectives where assists are guaranteed; avoid dueling stronger 1v1 heroes without reset active
  • Use Sword Propel's mobility to roam and catch isolated targets, especially low-HP carries

Late Game

Teamfight phase
  • Position as secondary engager behind tankline; Backstab picks isolated carries and resets the fight
  • In large teamfights, play around backline positioning to guarantee low-HP priority targets
  • Chain resets carefully—overextending for resets can leave you exposed to enemy focus fire

Tips

Pro Tips

  • Backstab automatically selects the lowest HP hero enemy, so coordinate team focus to isolate targets rather than spread damage randomly
  • Your 60% damage reduction during Backstab allows aggressive repositioning—use it to reposition mid-teamfight, not just as escape
  • Whirlwind's 50% slow is your only CC; use it to zone grouped enemies or trap fleeing targets, maximizing reset chain potential

Butterfly is a high-ceiling resets carry that dominates teamfights when kills/assists flow. Pick into team compositions where isolated targets are guaranteed or where your team provides abundant CC setup. Currently S-tier due to passive reset value in extended skirmishes, but struggles into coordinated teams with proper positioning and early game pressure.
