Power Spikes
How to Play
- Think angles and CDtimings: clone for bait, E for glue, R for lock.
- Don't stay in ARAM mid: create numbers on the sides with your mobility and CCs.
- Grasp short trades: AA→Q then W to break the opponent's return.
- Clear fast on red side then Scuttle contest; very strong early ganks.
Playing Against
- Keep control to after his W: punish him when he reappears.
- Avoid narrow corridors at objectives: his R takes up all the team's space.
- Cut his short trades with recoil/disengage; anti-heal early vs Death's Dance/Sundered.
- Lateral wards: loves to flank via bushes + clone.
- Contest early with duelists (Lee, Olaf) or play cross-map if Rammus; ward his gank angles.
- Stasis Enchant/Steelcaps on carries greatly reduce their impact.
