Dash-reset mage who chains Chrono Dash to poke and reposition endlessly
MageGold LaneMid LaneDeals magic
Harith is a mobility mage who wins by chaining Chrono Dash, cutting 3 seconds off its cooldown with every enhanced basic attack that lands. Synchro Fission's twin blast punishes anyone caught between his phantom and himself, and Key Insight's lifesteal scales up the more enemy heroes crowd around him.

Strengths
Chrono Dash takes 3 seconds off its own cooldown on a landed enhanced attack, letting him chain mobility through a fight
Synchro Fission's collision explosion deals heavy damage to anyone caught between Harith and his phantom
Key Insight scales his lifesteal up automatically the more enemy heroes surround him
Zaman Force's rift shreds movement speed hard, locking down a whole team's positioning
Weaknesses
Squishy if Chrono Dash whiffs — no shield, no reset, and he's stuck in the open
Synchro Fission requires good phantom placement to land the collision, and a poorly aimed cast wastes the whole combo
No hard crowd control of his own beyond slows, so he can't lock a target down to finish a kill
Heavily combo-reliant early — before items, his poke damage alone doesn't punish enemies much
Skills
Max Chrono Dash first for the mobility and reset value, level Synchro Fission for the poke damage, and take the ultimate at levels 4, 8 and 12.

Hybrid Lifesteal
Lifesteal (Basic Attacks) + Spell Vamp (Skills).
Spell Vamp
Percentage of HP recovered from dealing Skill Damage to an enemy. HP recovered = Skill Damage × Spell Vamp × Spell Vamp Ratio. Usually the Spell Vamp Ratio is 30%–120%, depending on the skill's damage, range and duration.
Lifesteal
Percentage of HP recovered from dealing Basic Attack
Skill 1
Synchro Fission
AOE
Harith creates a phantom of himself in a distant location. Harith and his phantom will then release Synchro Fission toward each other, dealing 236–376 (+84% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemy units on the path. When the 2 energy waves collide, an explosion occurs, dealing 590–940 (+210% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enmies in the explosion area.

Magic Damage Skill
Deal Magic DMG to enemies. Triggers Spell Vamp.
Skill 2
Chrono Dash
MobilityBuff
Harith dashes towards the target direction. When he arrives, he steals Magic power from enemy heroes, generates a shield that absorbs at least 185–310 (+140% Total Magic Power) damage and enhances his next Basic Attack. Harith's enhanced Basic Attack deals 225–350 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and slows enemies by 40%. Hitting an enemy with Harith's enhanced Basic Attack reduces the cooldown of Chrono Dash by 3 seconds.

BuffSlow

Poke Burst Mage
7,970g total
Default pick for a mid-lane matchup where you can farm and poke safely.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Divine Glaive — Scaling penetration once the enemy stacks magic defense.
Unlike Purify, Sprint does nothing against stuns or roots already applied — it only prevents future slows and outruns melee threats, so it's best on heroes who aren't the primary CC target.
Swap in when needed
Concentrated Energy — 20% Hybrid Lifesteal to keep him topped up while chaining Chrono Dash across a long fight.
Divine Glaive — Penetration once the enemy backline builds magic defense to counter him.
Clock of Destiny — Destiny stacks Hybrid Defense every time he lands magic damage, which is constant in a longer, farm-heavy game.
Harith Chase Assassin Mage build: Arcane Boots, then Lightning Truncheon, then Genius Wand, then Holy Crystal.
Who counters Harith
The heroes that make this matchup hard, and the mechanic that does it.
Place Synchro Fission's phantom so the collision lands where enemies actually are, not just at max range
2
Land the enhanced basic attack from Chrono Dash before recasting it — that hit is what shortens the cooldown
3
Open with Zaman Force — the rift takes 4 seconds off Chrono Dash's cooldown on top of slowing everyone inside it
4
Fight near clustered enemy heroes to maximize Key Insight's stacking lifesteal during extended trades
Harith — common questions
Is Harith good for beginners?
He's a high mechanical-ceiling mage — chaining Chrono Dash resets while landing Synchro Fission's phantom collision takes real repetition, so newer players tend to get much less value than his kit allows.
What is the best build for Harith?
Lightning Truncheon into Holy Crystal and Genius Wand covers cooldown, raw power, and penetration; add Divine Glaive or Ice Queen Wand depending on whether the enemy stacks magic defense or dash-heavy mobility.
Which heroes counter Harith?
Phoveus is the hardest counter since his ultimate charges off every Chrono Dash Harith throws out; Kaja's Divine Judgement suppression and Edith's Lightning Bolt immobilize both land regardless of how many dash resets he has banked.
How do you chain Chrono Dash resets on Harith?
Land the enhanced basic attack that Chrono Dash grants before the buff expires — a successful hit cuts the skill's cooldown, letting Harith dash again almost immediately.
