Expert Tips
- Trickster (E) dodges any ability while in the air. Use it to dodge Blitzcrank Q, Lee Sin Q, Darius E, and more.
- Your ult (Chum the Waters) scales with AP but also bounces off minions. Fire into the backline behind a front wave.
- Don't commit to a full combo before level 6. Play for harass with Q poke pre-6 and all-in after.
