Favorable Matchups

TwistedFate

Twisted Fate has to walk into your cage range to gold card and you can one-shot him with stacked AP.

Lux

Lux is immobile and your cage catches her easily, setting up a guaranteed Q-W-R combo.

Ziggs

Ziggs cannot escape your cage and you outscale him infinitely with your passive AP stacking.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Stack AP infinitely by last-hitting with Q and hitting champions with abilities.
• 2.Place cage on top of enemies to force them to stand still or walk into the stun wall.
• 3.Use R as an execute since it deals more damage based on the target missing health.
