Short trades, keep W for the opponent's pick. Look for tight 2v2/3v3.
Mid
Play around objectives: vision, R flanks, forcing tight battles.
Late
Find a carry/tank to 'suplex', protect your backline if the opposing assassin snowballs.

How to Play
- Keep W to absorb the opponent's spike, not to scrape up HP.
- Position yourself at a slight angle to align the true W area with the carries.
- Your E is more threatening near walls and minions: play geometry.
- Freezes wave on tower side against ranged. Engages when they last-hit.
- Power Spike on Couperet + Sterak: forces a 2nd hero or target.
- Simple pathing: red > mid/river > bot if priority, otherwise clear tri-camp and look top.
Playing Against
- Against Sett, avoid prolonged scrums: kite outside your W zone.
- Keep your dashes to dodge his E; if he whiffs, the window is open.
- Punish him from a distance, then back off when he accelerates with Q.
- Deep Wards: prevent TPs behind the backline.
- Force short 1v1s or kite him in an open forest.
- Anticipate his counter-ganks: he loves to respond, not initiate.
