Earn priority without donating the shield

0:30–~14:00; each crash, level-2 race, and recall is a separate decision window.

From spawn through the first recall, decide whether the bot duo can push without entering the enemy's engage range. If yes, use Ricochet and disciplined autos to create a crash, then recall or move only after the wave is under the enemy turret. If the opposing duo has the stronger level-2 threat, give up exposed CS while staying in experience range and save Spell Shield for the spell that starts the all-in. A successful early lead is a clean crash and an item-and-health reset, not a chase after one short trade.

Lane

Turn wave clear into a real lane timer

If you can clear the current bot wave without giving the enemy an all-in angle, use Ricochet to accelerate the push and create a crash; then choose a concrete follow-up—recall, a visible river move, or a plate attempt. If the enemy has engage available and your support is not beside you, preserve Spell Shield for the initiating ability instead of treating the push as permission to walk forward.

With Sivir

• If Sivir is your bot carry, support her first crash by helping shape the wave without randomly breaking the intended state; when she is pushing, stand between her and the enemy's engage path rather than fishing for a low-value trade. If the enemy threatens all-in, let her hold Spell Shield for the initiating cast and layer your follow-up after it blocks.
• If Sivir has On The Hunt available and two or more allies are within a screen, prepare the play before casting: identify the target, the structure, or the retreat route. The speed is most useful when it changes who arrives first; it is less valuable when everyone is already separated or the team has nothing to reach.
• If Sivir is ahead, give her the safest central farm after laning while another champion handles a side wave that is safe to catch. If she is behind, do not demand that she face-check or walk first into river; let her clear the wave and join after vision, a pick, or a numbers advantage appears.
• If an objective is 60–90 seconds away, help Sivir crash the bot wave and reset together when possible. A healthy, equipped Sivir with Spell Shield ready can contribute to the setup; a duo split across recall timers arrives late and turns her wave advantage into no fight.
