Notes

Twin Shadows screenshot

A ghost summoned by Twin Shadows.

  • If there are less than two enemy champions alive, only one ghost is summoned. 
    • If no enemy champions are alive upon activation, the ghosts will wander for 3 seconds and then disappear.
  • The ghosts have a movement speed of 667.
  • The active can be used regardless of if there are no enemy champions in range and the ghosts will seek them up to the capped range despite of this.
  • The ghosts will chase champions even if they are in Guerrilla Warfare stealth.
  • If the user dies while the ghosts fail to chase an enemy champion, they will return to their user's corpse and remain idle until expiration.

Strategy

  • Because the ghosts target the closest enemy champions even when you don't have sight of them, this item is an excellent scouting tool.
  • Its active can make it a useful item on mages that lack crowd control.
  • A well timed Spell Shield spell shield can negate the effect of a ghost coming into contact with a champion.
  • It is possible for both ghosts to hit the same champion, but the effect and duration is only refreshed.
    • With this is mind, when chasing or being chased, you can try to soak up both ghosts to eliminate them as a threat.
  • Ghosts may not pass over any blocked terrain, such as Jarvan IV's Jarvan IV's Cataclysm Cataclysm, you may use this to your advantage to prevent the vision or slow effects for a time.
  • This item can be combined with the rune Glacial Augment to create large fields of slow without even needing to aim.

Trivia

  • The item was originally called Wraith Collar.
  • Can be found in the shop by searching for "Spooky Ghosts".
  • On Twisted Treeline, Twin Shadows Twin Shadows and Timeworn Frost Queen's Claim Timeworn Frost Queen's Claim shared the same active and cooldown, even though the Frost Queen's Claim's Frost Queen's Claim's active wasn't named Spectral Pursuit.
