Weaknesses

Gameplay notes

- Use W to break engages, not for poke.
- Place your zones before fights, not during.
- Always stay out of assassin range.
Common mistakes
- Playing reactively instead of anticipating.
- Using Q too early without setup.
- Underestimating assassins.
- Poor zone placement.

Game Plan
Early
Poke + safe push, ward, don't die to roams/dives.
Mid
Once ult is up, play around objectives: ult to zone + pick.
Late
Fight front-to-back: stay out of range and cut the fight with your zones.
Mid
Short split if ahead, otherwise group for objectives with ult.
Late
Stay out of range, zone/cut: win fights by controlling them.
Early
Poke + bush control (vision), protect your ADC from engages.
Mid
Open fights with E (sigil) then ult to cut backline/escape.
Late
Priority: peel + zoning. Protect your carries and zone out divers.
Power Spikes
Level 5 (R)
First big spike: fight zoning + multi-direction space control.
How to Play
- Your kit = prepare → punish. Drop trinkets like a minefield, then force enemies into them.
- Charged Q = real threat. Fire too early and you lose your identity: play on patience and angles.
- E (sigil) before fights: makes enemies easier to hit for your entire team.
- Play backline: poke + zone, save W for peel/anti-dive.
- Protect your ADC first: your role is creating conditions, not dealing damage.
Playing Against
- Close the distance: artillery mages hate close range.
- Punish her while she charges Q: that's when she's most vulnerable (slowed during charge).
- Don't walk into her zones (trinkets): you lose the fight before it even starts.
- Track her W: if W is down, you can force a trade/all-in.
