Essential Tips

1. Conserve your Event Horizon (E) for securing kills or setting up ganks - it's your primary escape tool and costs significant mana
2. Farm with Baleful Strike (Q) to accumulate AP stacks - aim to hit multiple minions for efficiency
3. Prioritize using Primordial Burst (R) on squishy targets early in teamfights to create numerical advantages

This champion excels at scaling through farm and can turn teamfights with well-placed abilities. Focus on safe farming early and transition into a burst damage threat as you accumulate AP stacks.
