Enable ADC follow-up on knockups for burst trades and zone Vel'Koz off wave.

Trading pattern

Threaten (W)+(Q) engages only when ADC can immediately capitalize on knockups.
Punish Vel'Koz's missed (E) or poke cooldowns by crashing wave and pressuring ADC.

Avoid engaging when (E) knockup is available to counter your combo.

Win conditions

Deny Vel'Koz ADC access by controlling brush and wave near your tower.
