How to Play
- Track your passive stun and announce it: the threat alone can shut down enemy engages.
- Prepare your angles from the mist: Flash-R in the center → Stasis.
- Last-hit at Q to save money; play around the level 5, 9, and 13 windows.
- Push-reset and play around the jungler to force short 2v2s.
- Sync your R with ADC ultimates like Miss Fortune, Jhin, or Varus for fast wombo setups.
- Don't waste P on poke if an objective fight is approaching.
Playing Against
- Keep Stasis or QSS for Flash-R, then punish her when R is down.
- Counter-push and poke from outside her range so she never gets a clean Flash-R angle.
- Respect the level 5, 9, and 13 timings and avoid forced grouped fights.
