AbilityGrants movement speed and makes Ossuary intimidating.
Phantom Liberator
UltimateSummons an overwhelming wave of ghost soldiers for a devastating charge.
Matchups

Deployment
Centre lane, where his bone shards can hit both the wave and the enemy Giant at once.
How It Works
Ossuary is designed to be scary at low health. Advance of the Endless Tomb scales his attack speed as his health drops, which means the enemy has to either kill him cleanly or lose the trade.
Bone Shard Barrage doubling against Giants makes him one of the few carries who can pressure a tank directly, and the shield on each hit keeps him alive through the retaliation.
Strategy
Open with Burial Shroud so you have the speed to land Unbinding Slash on a real target rather than a soldier.
Phantom Liberator is a lane-breaking tool. Use it to convert a won fight into an outpost, not to start one.
Tips
- You want to be low, not dead. Back off before the execute threshold, not after.
- Cast abilities on cooldown — every cast is attack speed.
- Barrage against Giants first; soldiers can be cleaned up afterwards.
FAQ
Why is Ossuary rated so highly for scaling?
His passive converts danger into attack speed, so the fights he survives make him stronger rather than weaker.
How should Ossuary be built?
Soldier and Kinetic items. Phantom Liberator is a wave, so anything that buffs soldiers buffs his ultimate.
What is Ossuary bad at?
Healing matchups. Solace can out-sustain his damage-over-time before his execute window opens.
