Quick read
First priority in lane

Game Plan
Early
Aims to poke through minions and collect souls. No all-in; play economy and plates.
Mid
Short groups around objectives, proactive R for remote shielding. Vision + E for escort.
Late
Backline pure: Q to peel, W to punish an exposed target, R to counter init.
Early
Poke and sustain lanes, hook angle denies.
Mid
Tempo vision + rotations; shines on target fights with R.
Late
Peel/anti-dive priority, Serpent's if shields opposite.
Mid
Two-item spike: Play to your range and chip health bars before committing.
Late
DPS out of danger with increased range; Stasis Enchant on targeted threats.
Power Spikes
Levels 5, 9, and 13
R global gives clutch shields to targets.
20/40/60 souls
Reach/crit jumps that transform the game phase.
How to Play
- Your value comes from safe poke + care: play the wave, not the melee.
- Collect souls in rhythm: aim for 20/40/60 before key objectives.
- Don't waste R: think shield first, damage later.
- Harasses through minions to avoid direct engagement.
- set deep vision, then E to escort your jungler without revealing yourself.
- Against hookers, stay behind the wave and keep Stasis Enchant/Flash.
- Take the priority by short poke, never long trade.
- RFC + Mist range = risk-free plate pressure.
- Teamfights: last line, defensive R first.
Playing Against
- Buy anti-heal early (Executor/Morello) to neutralize Q + R.
- Hold the wave in the middle: fewer Q angles through minions.
- Trades short and explosive (Lucian/Draven); no prolonged combat.
- Freeze near your tower to reduce its distance poke window.
