Who Wins
- Pre-6, you and Miss Fortune win the 2v2 because your double Q bomb stun at level 2 combined with Miss Fortune's passive burst is a near-guaranteed kill on Smolder if he is caught even slightly out of position.
- Post-6, your win condition weakens significantly because Milio's R cleanses your R's stasis effect and Miss Fortune's R channel, meaning your two biggest tools are both neutralized by a single enemy ability.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best trading pattern is to land a single Q on Smolder, wait for the rewind, then drop the second Q immediately to stun him in place for Miss Fortune to proc her passive and Q double-up.
- Do not throw both bombs carelessly — the stun only happens on the second hit, and missing the combo means you have no follow-up for several seconds while Milio heals Smolder back to safety.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should not roam aggressively because Smolder is a kill target that Miss Fortune can execute alone only if you have already burned Milio's summoners or R, and leaving lane gives Smolder free farm to reach his Q stack breakpoints faster.
- If you do roam, do it only after a successful all-in that forces Milio and Smolder to back, ensuring the wave is crashing into their tower so Smolder cannot freely farm while you are gone.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your R on Miss Fortune as a defensive tool in lane unless it is a guaranteed death situation — your R is most valuable saved to bait Milio into wasting his R on a non-critical moment, then using it afterward when Milio's R is on cooldown and cannot cleanse it.
