1. If unable to secure kills with Ultimate (R) in top lane, roam mid for potential kills
2. Use Ultimate for picking off enemies during mid and late game to secure objectives
3. When behind, group with team and look for picks
4. When ahead, focus on split pushing and securing objectives

Situational Items Adjust your build based on:

• Team composition
• Enemy champions
• Game state
• Lane matchup

Consider defensive stats in rune shards (Armor or Magic Resist) based on lane opponent.
