- Keep at least 1 charge of R to exit after an engagement.
- Play the lanes/choke points where E is easier to place.
- Controlled push: Q for priority, conserve mana to respond to a gank with E/R.
- Strong roams after 5: shift as soon as the wave is under the opponent's turn.
- On objectives, look for a pick before engaging the 5v5.
Playing Against
- Dodge its Charm sideways: without E, its burst threat drops.
- Force his R charges with small engages, then punish when they're off.
- MR and Stasis drastically reduce the kill window.
- If E is down, challenge the wave aggressively.
- Group together in open terrain to reduce the angle of engagement.
