Install turret ring and secure priority; clean crashes then resets.

Play choke points with RE/RW; convert each pick into a target.

Disciplined siege: RQ to force, or RE to defend neutral objectives.

Push-reset → plates; guard E to deter ganks.

Wave thin side you, constant harassment; call jungler on windows without dash.

UPGRADE!!! more frequent: easier pick/seating.
How to Play
- Spread your turrets to reduce AoE clears and cover multiple angles.
- Play chokepoints: RE to fix, RW to finish, then immediately switch to the objective.
- Don't stack the wave against Irelia/Camille; keep a thin wave close to your tower.
- Set up an advanced turret before the trades, then kite around the ring.
- Disciplined push-reset: crash + ward deep, protect your advanced flat turrets.
- Guard E for assassin dash; Stasis Enchant is non-negotiable against Zed/Fizz.
Playing Against
- Avoid narrow corridors on objectives: force him to fight in open terrain.
- Clear its turrets before engaging; send a bruiser to tank them while the carry destroys them.
- Diver after forcing E: its response window is greatly reduced.
- Punish its resets after R has been used: without RE/RW, its threat drops.
- Wardar the flanks; Heimer wants a static front, cut off his vision.
