  • Using E aggressively leaves you vulnerable to ganks
  • Only engage with E when you're confident in securing a kill
  1. Ability Sequencing
  • Auto-attack before using Q
  • Q applies passive stacks efficiently
  • Chain abilities to maximize passive procs
  1. Ultimate Usage
  • Wait for enemies to use their CC abilities

  • Use from safe positions to ensure full channel
