How to Play
- Play the corridors (jungle/river) to maximize R1→R2 hits.
- Announce your angles: your team must gather behind you before the ultimate.
- Short trades around Grasp; push then turn on ultimate timers.
- Only use E if there's a wall/pillar to hit.
- Prepare Q in the side bushes; R2 + Zeke's converts any pick into a target.
- Keep Locket for the impact of your entry (and not afterwards).
Playing Against
- Against anti-CC (Morgana/Janna), feint at the entrance then raise when the spells have fallen.
- Avoid prolonged duels vs true damage; force disciplined front-to-back.
- Respect Fiora's Parade windows; space your spells so as not to give everything away.
- Set Q to secure ganks: the pillar makes the opponent's pathing predictable.
- Never go-in without side vision: your kit expresses itself in corridors and closed angles.
- Space your controls to maximize downtime (Brittle → R2).
