How to Play
- Play the mist: deep wards + Oracle Lens for unexpected flanking angles.
- Don't show your position on objectives: threat of pick > frontal force.
- Pathing safe to 6 (full clear or 3 camps > opportunistic gank) then switches to catch mode.
- Early W placement out of sight; approach from the sides to avoid head-on checks.
- Stasis Enchant Enchant turns risky dives into positive trades: invest early.
Playing Against
- Against Evelynn: Oracle Lens from mid-game and deep vision on the sides.
- Save Stasis Enchant/Quicksilver for its charm timing; gather around peel.
- Invade at 3 to its second buffs before 6; punish its recall timers.
- Keep the priority mid to challenge its vision control and flanking angles.
