How to Play
- Play around Doom: if not available, avoid the exchange and push the wave carefully.
- Pre-place E to create guaranteed Q windows and control access to lenses.
- Push → vision → pick at fog with QE; transforms into dragon/Herald when R is ready.
- Against assassins, hold W for the entrance and Stasis for the ultimate.
- Roam mid when Doom is ready: you can easily turn a pick into a tackle/torre.
Playing Against
- Don't force it without Doom: your threat drops drastically.
- Respect upper wave cleaning: shift instead of trading in the center.
- Place your vision on the sides, prepare E in the fog then Q to force Flash.
- Facing cleanse/QSS, feigns a first QE to force the asset, then relaunches on the window.
- Play the corridors: your E controls the space perfectly for your ADC.
