Synergy & Trading

  • Lead with Q poke on the wave to push and harass, then use E when Rakan tries to engage or when enemies are grouped.
  • Your W provides follow-up on Rakan engages or can zone during Ashe's R setup.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Don't roam early as your lane presence is too valuable and you lack mobility for effective roams.
  • Focus on controlling vision around dragon and maintaining lane dominance through levels 6-11.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use E aggressively without proper follow-up as the cooldown leaves you vulnerable to Rakan engages.
  • Avoid wasting R in trades you can't finish since the cooldown is crucial for your lane dominance.
