Note: Rin is meant to be a universal hero but this template hasn't been updated to include universal types yet. I would recommend you read the Innate Ability (Energy Field) and then the rest of the abilities.

Rin has an innate ability that creates a field. Similar to earth spirit's remnants, the field empowers her abilities and truly enables her. Unlike ES however, she does not have multiple charges and hence it becomes important to be mindful of your own positioning as well as the enemies, since you want to be fighting inside your field as much as possible.

Her Ultimate and W allows her to synergize well with heroes like MK, Mars, Jakiro (and to an extent Viper, Underlord, CM) that lay down an area and want to fight inside that arena.
Her repositioning abilities and multiple CC abilities make her a strong teamfighter. Her stat gain is decent and as a universal hero, she can choose to go for a hybrid damage build too.
Her strength quite low and hence she is not very tanky. So you need to be careful with the use of your mobility/disarm spells.

D: Innate Ability that enables all her other spells to shine. Shard effect also works for both a caster/right click build.
Q: Allows her to reposition herself and gives a damage boost to the next attack(s). Also gives a short duration slow inside the field. This ability has a bunch of talents that can empower it.
W: Decent Nuke and farming tool. Allows you to reposition enemies inside the field
E: Skillshot based Disarm that also deters spell casting (inside the field). Deals no/low damage unless the enemy casts a spell under the debuff.
R: Shorter Range Skewer that inflicts a strong DoT effect based on Max HP which allows the spell to scale well against beefy heroes.
F (Aghs): The pull effect can disrupt the enemies' positioning and force them to fight inside the field. Further improves her damage output and also allows her to cause more disruption with constant mini stuns.
