How to Play
- Prepare Q3 before each objective to threaten instant engagement.
- Your E is not a free outing: watch out for controls that may punish you on your return.
- Short, frequent trades, then wave reset for plates/roams.
- If the enemy front line stacks armor, switch to penetration/Brisket + macro.
- Push then play the fog of war: E → Q3 → R creates decisive picks.
- Buy Mercury/Stasis according to assassins/CC opposite.
Playing Against
- Against hard-CC, keep E for reaction rather than engagement.
- Bait key skills (parry, windwall, shields) before committing your R.
- Vs Malphite, play the map and armor penetration rather than 1v1.
- Against Fizz/Zed, place side beacons and save Stasis for their first rotation.
- Don't force it without Q3 ready: you lose range/threat.
