3. Position in the backline during team fights for optimal survival and support
4. Use E (Tidecaller's Blessing) on allies with high attack speed or burst damage
5. Time your abilities to maximize your mana efficiency and healing output

Combat Positioning:

• Stay behind your ADC during laning phase
• Maintain safe distance while harassing with W bounces
• Use brush control to create pressure and landing opportunities for Q
• Position aggressively only when you have vision control and backup from your team

This champion requires average mechanical skill but rewards good positioning and ability timing. Focus on mastering ability combinations and mana management to maximize your impact in both lane and team fights.
