Written guide · based on the official ability texts

The trade

Q AA AA

When: An enemy is within dagger range.

Two Darkin Daggers apply a bleed then bonus damage; the pack leaps onto the first champion hit; Eviscerate dashes you and deals damage around you.

The execution

When: A champion is low.

Hounds' Pursuit sends you and your pack dashing onto a champion; you reveal nearby enemies and can recast if you score a takedown (without a shield the second time).

The empowered pack

W AA AA

When: A fight begins.

The Call of the Pack makes you untargetable, summons extra members and gives you speed and attack damage; Eviscerate recalls and fully heals the pack.

Common mistakes

Engaging alone: your power depends on your pack.
Using Eviscerate without looking at the state of your pack.
Recasting the ultimate without a takedown.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.
