Expert Tips
- Last Breath (R) can only be activated after you or a teammate sends an enemy airborne. Always play around knockups.
- Steel Tempest (Q) third hit fires a tornado. Keep your tornado charges for when you need to initiate or peel.
- Windwall (W) persists for 4 seconds. Save it for the most dangerous projectile in a fight — never waste it on small poke.
