How this matchup plays

Blinking onto Arc Warden seems like the right move, but it's a fatal mistake for Templar Assassin. Her entire defense is built around Refraction blocking a set number of damage instances, and Arc Warden’s Spark Wraiths obliterate those charges instantly. A couple of pre-placed sparks not only strip her shield but also deal significant magic damage, which she has no good way to mitigate. If she survives the initial burst, she is often caught out of position and alone, making her a perfect target for Flux. The Tempest Double only amplifies this problem, allowing Arc Warden to control huge portions of the map and making it impossible for Templar Assassin to find a safe initiation.
