Expert Tips

Spider Form E (Rappel) dodges every skillshot and targeted ability while you're in the air. Time it to dodge ganks or CC.
Your burst combo is Q (Venomous Bite) → E (Rappel up) → Q when fully stacked. This kills almost any non-tank pre-6.
Gank early and often — your kit loses relative power as the game goes late and enemies get more HP.
