Essential Tips:

2. Always auto-attack before using Q to maximize passive stack potential
3. Time your Ultimate when enemies have used their CC abilities to avoid interruption

Key Combos:

• Basic Harass: Auto-attack > Q > Auto-attack
• All-in: Auto-attack > Q > E > Auto-attack + passive procs
• Chase/Execute: Ultimate > E to reposition > Auto-attacks

Remember to adapt your build and playstyle based on the matchup, and always look for opportunities to roam with your E to help other lanes.
