Key Tips & Tricks:

  1. Conserve your Event Horizon (E) - Use it primarily for kills or gank setups, as it's your main escape tool and costs significant mana
  2. Optimize Q farming - Line up multiple minions to maximize stack gains and AP scaling
  3. Target priority - Use Final Spark (R) on squishy targets early in teamfights to create numerical advantages

Essential Combos:

  • Standard burst combo: E (stun) → W (dark matter) → Q → R
  • Farming combo: Q through multiple minions while keeping safe distance
  • Defensive combo: E (self-cast) → Q → W while retreating

Additional Considerations:

  • Focus on farming safely early game to stack AP
  • Position defensively in teamfights until key enemy cooldowns are used
  • Use terrain to your advantage when placing Event Horizon
  • Coordinate with jungle ganks by saving your stun
