Hey, how goes it?

I've been playing J4 recently, since he's free (he feels so broken) and I destroyed top lane and during that time build a Ravenous Hydra. It's certainly a fun item to use when I'm playing an assassin such as Rengar (for the extra cleave damage). But it had me wondering, when's the right time to activate it? I mean, it's essentially another auto that has increased range for decreased damage, right? So when should it be use as opposed to an auto attack?

Lemme know.

It's on a short enough CD to use it right after you hit your Gap closer. 10 seconds maybe a long time but it isn't that long. It's another Basic ability to use and should be put in with a basic ability combo.

With Jarvan IV, you can easily weave Ravenous Hydra's active between your autoattacks. Doing even 1 step better than that, is cancelling the animation on the hydra active, by using the active while you are casting a spell like dragon lance
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

On Rengar I commonly used it while in the midst of my double Savagery, which dealt loads of damage. Seems like it's only useful for those with auto-attack mods or low-CD abilities (like dragon lance). I've been using it on nocturne while's he's free, typically after Duskbringer.
