Key Tips & Tricks:
- Conserve your Event Horizon (E) - Use it primarily for kills or gank setups, as it's your main escape tool and costs significant mana
- Optimize Q farming - Line up multiple minions to maximize stack gains and AP scaling
- 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
