Build a controlled lane lead
0:00–14:00, especially the first three waves and each crash before a recall or move
Identify whether you can contest the first wave without fighting inside the enemy's minion advantage. Attack reachable Harrier targets when the trade does not expose you to a longer exchange, then use the resulting pressure to secure minions or space. Blinding Assault supports short-area trades; Vault is a commitment, so use it only when its interruption and landing position leave you safer. Crash before recalling or moving. If behind, prioritize experience and safe CS near your side because a failed all-in can lose the wave needed to stabilize.
