Focus on farming early while seeking opportunities to upgrade your Q through enemy damage and kills - this is crucial for your early-game power.

Your key abilities include:

  • Q: Main damage source that gets stronger with kills
  • E: Mobility skill for repositioning and wall-jumping (use wisely)
  • Ultimate (Level 6+): Provides AOE damage and sustain in teamfights

Early Game Tips:

  • Focus on farming while looking for Q upgrade opportunities

Mid Game Strategy:

  • Rotate to mid after taking bot tower
  • Stay grouped with team, especially your Support
  • Look for picks with your Support/Jungler
  • Avoid isolated positions

Late Game Approach:

  • Position safely behind your frontline
