Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win if you land E for guaranteed W follow-up, but lose sustained poke wars due to lack of sustain against their range advantage.
- Post-6 you become the primary engage threat with R, but must respect Seraphine's E interrupting your combos.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead trades with E when enemies are locked in animations or near walls, immediately following with W for guaranteed hit and passive proc.
- Use Q for wave control and short trades, saving R for all-ins when enemies are below 60% health.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when you have R available and river vision secured, focusing on mid lane ganks or jungle invades with your jungler.
- Best timings are after successful backs or when enemies recall, leaving your ADC safe to farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E without proper follow-up damage as the cooldown leaves you vulnerable to their superior range and poke.
- Avoid using R in minion waves where Jinx can kite backwards with rockets while you're slowed by creep block.
