Who Wins

  • Pre-6: Tristana + Blitzcrank wins due to superior all-in potential and hook threat limiting your positioning.
  • Post-6: You gain significant disengage with R, making the lane more manageable but they still hold kill pressure advantage.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W to slow Blitzcrank when he walks up for hooks, then shield Smolder for favorable Q trades.
  • Save Q for interrupting Blitzcrank's hook or displacing Tristana during her all-in attempts.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam during cannon waves when Smolder can safely farm under tower, typically after level 3.
  • Look for mid lane ganks or deep wards when the enemy duo recalls or is low on mana.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q on poke when Blitzcrank hook is available - save it as disengage tool.
  • Using Q aggressively leaves you vulnerable to getting hooked and killed.
