General Laning Tips

• 1.Use W sanguine pool to dodge critical abilities but be careful as it costs a percentage of your health.
• 2.Charge E during pool to guarantee a fully charged burst when you emerge.
• 3.Flash-R onto grouped enemies in teamfights for a massive delayed burst that heals you for each target hit.
