Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q to dash through minions and gap-close when Nautilus lands hook, then immediately W to avoid Lux Q follow-up.
  • Your E empowered auto attacks combined with Nautilus passive create strong burst windows for quick trades.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Let the wave push toward you early to create gank opportunities and reduce your exposure to Caitlyn's range advantage.
  • Only hard push when you have kill pressure or when recalling to prevent losing CS to tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never use W defensively too early as you need it to dodge Lux Q after Nautilus engages.
  • Using W for minor poke mitigation leaves you vulnerable to the real kill combo when it comes.
