How to Play
- The game is played around fog and bushes: vision check before each entry.
- Pre-stack the Fervor at 3-4 before a gank/objective for a decisive empowered spell.
- Short trades from bushes; doesn't stretch against Jax/Renekton.
- Split push when R is down; join via TP/R as soon as a fight breaks out.
- Avoids invade versus strong duelists; favors counter-ganks and flanking picks.
- Convert each kill into an objective (Herald/Dragon) while R is up.
Playing Against
- Abuses bushes to wash out the wave and create uncertainty.
- If the enemy stabs the armor, quickly switch to Black Cleaver.
- Laying deep wards to prepare non-telegraphed jumps.
