Your Hook (Q) is your primary engage tool - aim to hit immobile or low-mobility enemies.

Make the most of your level 2 power spike by quickly pushing for level 2 and looking for an aggressive engage.

Early Game (Levels 1-5):

  • Start with Dredge Line (Q) for strong level 1 presence
  • Play aggressive at level 2 with Q + W combo
  • Avoid being poked down by playing behind minions when cooldowns are down
  • Stay healthy to maintain engage threat

Mid Game (Levels 6-13):

  • Roam with Boots of Mobility to help other lanes
  • Look for picks with Depth Charge (R) ultimate
  • Group with team before objectives
  • Protect your ADC during teamfights
  • Ward safely when enemy positions are known

Late Game (Level 14+):

  • Stay grouped with your team
  • Peel for carries in teamfights
  • Look for ultimate picks from fog of war
  • Use your tankiness for reliable tower dives
  • Focus nearest targets after engaging

Key Power Spikes:

  • Level 2: Strong all-in potential with Q + W
  • Level 6: Ultimate adds significant kill pressure
  • Boots of Mobility: Enhanced roaming capability
  • Multiple completed items: Excellent tower dive potential

Important Tips:

  • Don't engage without team follow-up
  • Maintain vision control for ultimate picks
  • Play around cooldowns carefully
  • Position safely when abilities are down
  • Use fog of war to your advantage

Common Weaknesses:
