Buy boots first recall against Aatrox, Sett, and Darius.
Mana Crystal is better than Tear.
Volcanic Age is a must on Illaoi—it’s too good to pass up.
Doran’s Blade is better than Doran’s Shield.
You can break Eclipse’s passive with one W if you have Volcanic Age.
Always start W—you win most trades at level 1/2.
Don’t fight Darius, Shen, Cho’Gath, or Garen at level 1—they always win trades.
Remember: don’t use Q to clear waves or poke early unless necessary—it’s a waste of mana. Use W with passive for wave clear.
If you kill a spirit at level 3 near tower and the enemy disrespects it, you can kill them.
Never invade or cover jungle level 1. Set up your tentacle instead.
If your team is winning, don’t force plays or overextend—let them carry.
If you fall behind, assassin items are good: Profane Hydra, Cyclone Sword, Volcanic Age.
In matchups like Renekton or Riven, you must run Bone Plating in your rune page.
In ranged matchups, you win every single time at level 1 with W → Grasp AA reset. Just check if they have Ignite.
Don’t spam E on cooldown. Wait for the enemy to go for a last-hit and play mind games with them.
