Expert Tips

Toxic Shot (passive) poison stacks with every hit. Auto attack 3x before E for optimal DPS on a single target.
Noxious Trap (R) mushrooms are invisible. Place them in high-traffic corridors and jungle entrances, not just in lane.
Blinding Dart (Q) blocks auto attacks for 1.5-2.5 seconds. Save it for the enemy's auto-attack burst window, not just poke.
