Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades with proper weapon management, especially Calibrum for poke and Severum for sustain trades.
- Post-6 becomes more complex as Jinx gains execute pressure, but your superior DPS in extended fights and Zilean's utility keep you ahead.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Calibrum Q to mark enemies from max range, then follow with auto-attacks while Zilean provides E speed boost for positioning.
- Rotate to Severum for healing trades when Lulu tries to poke, and save Gravitum for setting up Zilean's double bomb combos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build weapon stacks and force favorable trades when enemies walk up to farm.
- Use your range advantage to zone Jinx off CS while building towards your preferred weapon rotations for upcoming fights.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Gravitum root on targets that Lulu can immediately cleanse with her abilities.
- Avoid fighting when you have awkward weapon combinations like Calibrum-Crescendum without proper setup time.
