How to Play
- Think 'short trades': AA→Q then back off, the DoT works for you.
- Don't fight in the open without shrooms behind you.
- Keep the wave on your side to limit opposing dashes.
- Fast defensive boots by matchup (Steelcaps/Mercury).
- Ward deep + fallback shrooms before each extended trade.
- Priority to safe push, then roams with river shrooms.
- Respect assassin spikes at levels 5, 9, and 13: Stasis is mandatory.
- Electrocute possible if you're aiming for fast snowball.
Playing Against
- Keep Q for the moment of the opposing DPS, not for 'free poke'.
- Avoid open teamfights: play lanes/obstacles.
- Punishment as soon as the bruiser consumes his dashes: AA→Q→W.
- Shrooms on vision orbs and pixel bushes, then play around.
- Never facecheck without E available.
