Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q to poke and heal yourself, then W your ADC after enemy trades to maintain health advantage.
  • Position to hit Q through minions for rejuvenation stacks while staying safe from Bard Q angles.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Don't roam as you're the primary sustain keeping your ADC healthy against poke, and your presence prevents enemy all-ins.
  • Focus on vision control around your lane instead of leaving your ADC vulnerable.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste mana on unnecessary W heals when your ADC is healthy, as you need mana for crucial moments when enemies engage.
  • Avoid getting caught by Bard Q while positioning for Q poke, as this enables enemy burst combos.
