The enemy will be slowed and before the slow stops, the red Bubble will explode and deal 26 damage. The combo deals around 40 damage.

Tricks and Tips

• Volatile Water (M1): M1 is a regular damage source, however if you gain a charge from the Tier 1 Battlerite "Power of the Deep", Tidal Wave (Q) or from the EX-Modified M1, you silence the enemies on top of the 22 damage. Going for 1 or 2 EX-M1's is situationally just as good as landing your ultimate.
• Dive (Space) is useful for dodging hard CC and ultimate damage. In early game, try to save it for dodging normal damage spells since the enemy ultimate's won't be up. Taking the Tier 2 Battlerite "Healing Stream" helps reduce the cooldown, allowing you to be more versatile with your dives. With Dive, you are also able to damage targets and dodge their spell at the same time, for example Oldur's ultimate. If you press your space before the ult is visible on you, you deal damage on the target.
• Tidal Wave (Q) is a awesome spell against Melee champions since it will push them back when its triggered! Use this spell with care and cancle it so that the enemy cant wait until the cast duration is over and punish you for it! My tip would be: Use this spell with a lot care. When it comes to ANY counter its important to react fast and don't be predictable. Once this spell is out, you are an easy target since your "Dive" will be easy to follow afterwards! Lets move to the next spell:
• Bubble Barrier (E)is an awesome tool to keep distance between you and the enemy , to control the field, to block ultimates like Iva's or Jade's and it's ex-modification. Let's start with something simple. Always try to use your Bubble Barrier between your ranged DPS and the enemies melee DPS or between you and the melee DPS. It pushes both on the other side of the bubble with the difrence that your ally/you can still hit him while he can't most likely. You can use your Bubble Barrier as an Escape since it pushes you back a bit, it's a great out-tool if you dont want to "waste" your dive for that or just dont have it ready. Next up we would have blocking the Mid-Rune with your Bubble Barrier. Simply put it between enemy ranged and mid-rune and always prioritice someone like Jade. You can also use your Ex-Modificatino DIRECTLY on the Mid-Rune without it being pushed away although you should try to put it not DIRECTLY on it but so that's on the edge on your side. The Bubble Barrier is the BEST tole against Poloma! Just put it between her and her teammates and she wont be able to selfheal her from there just go hard on her and keep pressuring her. Let's get to her next spell:
• Bubble Shield (R) is a really strong debuff-cleaner (as I would like to call it). It's an instant cast on any ally even when you dont see them you can use this over walls. I would highly recommend to take the Battlerite "Bobble Bubble" in Tier 3! It reduces the CD of Bubble Shield by 5sec and gives you all your energy used back when it get's destroyed. When the shield is not needed dont use it since it's clears debuff's on apply. The rule would be: Is your ally CC? -No-> Dont use your Bubble Shield -Yes-> Use your Bubble Shield -No but he is about to die and he is focused-> Use your Bubble Shield // Also you can use your Bubble Shield when an enemy is in Pearl's ultimate. That is recomended since it blocks 3/4 of the ultimate damage, dont use it to early tho! In general when someone in your team is about to get hit by an ultimate try to use your Bubble Shield. I would do that rarely tho! Let's get to our next and final Spell:

• Jaw (F/Ultimate) is a FISHY FISHY! Joke's aside. You should only use Pearls ultimate when you are able to either combo with your teammates or throwing them in the Suddendeath ring. Pearl ultimate denys any damage taken while the enemy is inside so be careful when you have a croak in your team! You should also ALWAYS wait until the enemy has his escape spells used or if you have the setup from 4.4.1.(Combolist with Charged weapon as startup)

Smart combination of abilities

Now that we know what Pearl is able to do, we can get to the "advanced" part! I will sort the Combos by the energy needed also I will say which Battlerites you need. Some combos need a Orb-drop from your allies. I will use the following format to explain the combo:

Sample: Combo list 1,2,3 etc

1. Energy needed
2. Energy runes needed yes or no?
3. Battlerites needed (only the names)
4. The actual combo
5. Tips and Tricks/Notes
6. Synergy with other Champions and their spells

Combolist with Ultimate as a Startup

1. Combo

1. Energy needed: 125%
2. Small Blue rune from an ally (Also mid rune, just harder to set up)
3. None
4. Wait for your enemies to use their escaping spell and then use your ultimate
5. Hit your ultimate->Chose a location where your enemies are close to each other, prefable a wall -> Get the pickup energy -> Use your Ex-modificated Bubble Barrier spell (Shift+E or 2) just when you see Jaw spitting the enemies out again use the Ex-Modificated Bubble Barrier -optional->A perfect timed M1 or walk to the location, where your enemies get out, and use dive as soon as they land
6. On the location where the enemies land your teammate could for example:

• Jade: M2;Space;E;Ult
• Ashka: M1;Q;Ult;M2
• Iva: M1;M2;E;Ult
• Varesh: M1;M2;E;Ult
• Taya: M1;M2;E
• Croak: Q+M1;M2;Space;E;Ult
• Freya: M1;E;Ult
• Shifu: M1;M2;R
• Bakko: M1;M2;Space;Ult only if either max ranged or said combo is near a wall
• Lucie: Ex-M1
• Sirius: M1;R
• Oldur: M1;Ex-M1;Space;E;Ult
• Poloma: M1;E;Ult 2nd hit recommended!!!

2. Combo

1. Energy needed: 100%/125%
2. None/Small Energy pickup-orb if not having the Battlerite "Power of the Deep"
3. "Power of the Deep" in Tier1 is recommended but not needed (If you have it the combo just needs your ultimate)
4. Wait for your enemies to use their escaping spell and then use your ultimate
5. Hit your ultimate->Choose a location where you can see your enemy -with "Power of the Deep"->space->Charged M1 on landing its recommended that it's hit perfectly otherwise people will be able to jump out
6. Hit your ultimate->Choose a location where you can see your enemy -without "Power of the Deep"->Ex-M1 (charging the weapon)->Charged M1 on landing its recommended that it's hit perfectly otherwise people will be able to jump out
7. On the location where the enemies land your teammate could for example:

• Jade: M2;Space;E;Ult
• Ashka: M1;Q;Ult;M2
• Iva: M1;M2;E;Ult
• Varesh: M1;M2;E;Ult
• Taya: M1;M2;E
• Croak: Q+M1;M2;Space;E;Ult
• Freya: M1;E;Ult
• Shifu: M1;M2;R
• Bakko: M1;M2;Space;Ult only if either max ranged or said combo is near a wall
• Lucie: Ex-M1
• Sirius: M1;R
• Oldur: M1;Ex-M1;Space;E;Ult
• Poloma: M1;E;Ult 2nd hit recommended!!!

Combolist with Dive as a Startup

1. Combo

1. Energy needed: 25%
2. None
3. "Douse" in Tier 3
4. Not dodgeable if enemy doesn't have any escapes + It works on multiple targets! Great damage output and it's a good escape too, if done correct the enemy should be pushed away from the location where you dive to.
5. One or more enemies have to be very close to you (Melee range)->Use Ex-Bubble Barrier->Space (Dive) -optional/not needed->M1 after you come out of "Dive" if you don't have to heal

2. Combo

1. Energy needed: 125%
2. Ultimate pickup-orb or if you had your ultimate already only a small blue orb
3. "Douse" in Tier 3
4. Enemy is not allowed to have an ultimate or he is able to dodge! You need to see where your enemy is being pushed in order to land the combo as intended
5. One or more enemies have to be very close to you (Melee range)->Use Ex-Bubble Barrier->Space (Dive) on the Orb which regets your ult-> Use your ult where the enemies gets pushed -optional-> If wanted you can now add a combo from "Ultimate" as starter!
6. Any Champion who is able to deal damage without knockback/knockup while the enemy/enemies is/are in fading snare are good with this combo! Examples:

• Every Champions M1
• Jade M2
• Also after the ultimate is hit the synergy stays as it is for the Ultimate started combos!

Combolist with Charged Weapon as a Startup

1. Combo

1. Energy needed: 100%
2. None
3. "Soaking Wet" is needed
4. I use this combo if I HAVE to land the ultimate now and for 100%. Note: Sometimes it dosnt work, I am currently unsure why.
5. You have to get your weapon charged with the silence first, do that as you want to and your ultimate must be ready -> Hit the enemy with the silence -> Instantly Ultimate him -> Add some combo from the ultimate as startup if you wish

2. Combo

1. Energy needed: 25%
2. None
3. None
4. You have to react fast, it's a hard combo to land.
5. Get your weapon charged with silence first-> Put a ex-bubble barrier behind the enemy -> Push them with your charged weapon into the Ex-bubble barrier and if you like to you are able to connect it with another M1
