Deciding to pick one of these heroes into the other is a true test of confidence in the mid lane. The matchup becomes a classic dance of cooldowns and reaction time from the first wave. Puck feels strong using frequent spells to methodically strip away Templar Assassin's Refraction charges from a safe distance. However, a single well-timed Refraction can absorb Puck's entire burst, creating an opening for a devastating Meld strike. The outcome often hinges on split-second decisions. Puck can dodge the Meld hit entirely with Phase Shift, but Templar Assassin can use Psionic Traps to control space and slow Puck's escape, setting up an easy kill.
