    Brand Tips and Tricks

    Try to poke the enemy as often as possible with your W, but always be mindful of your mana pool. In team fights, aim to cast your R when enemies are grouped together so it can bounce between them and deal maximum damage. A good time to use your W is when the enemy is inside the minion wave, allowing you to push the wave while also harassing your opponent.
