Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you have strong engage potential with W but struggle in extended trades against Lucian's mobility and Maokai's sustain.
  • Post-6 your R combined with W creates devastating pick potential, especially against Lucian who lacks reliable escapes once committed.

Synergy & Trading

  • Look for W engages when Lucian uses E aggressively or when Maokai steps up to place E saplings.
  • Your best trades involve W onto the ADC, then using E to pull them back if they try to escape while your ADC follows up.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam frequently after successful recalls or when your ADC can safely farm under tower.
  • Optimal roam timings are when the wave is pushing toward your tower and mid lane is overextended or when your jungler is invading.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't W engage without knowing where their jungler is since you become extremely vulnerable after dismounting.
  • Avoid engaging when Maokai has Q available as the knockback can interrupt your combo and leave you stranded.
