Overview

Use (W) and (E) to control short-range trades and protect your ADC from Nautilus's engage.

Push or hold mid-wave to enable safe roams with (R) for side fights or river control.

Trading pattern

Hold (W) and (E) to punish Nautilus stepping too close for hook setups.

Use (Q) and passive for short poke, then retreat before Nautilus can engage from brush.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook plus passive root combo when he controls brush and fog.
Avoid extended fights if (W) or (E) are on cooldown, as you lose key engage and peel tools.
Watch for Nautilus's level 6 (R) ultimate, which can lock down your ADC if unprotected.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (W) taunt and (E) knock-up with your ADC's damage.
Deny Nautilus brush access early to limit his hook threat and reduce enemy ADC follow-up.
Crash the wave after level 2 to create roam windows and force Nautilus to stay lane.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) and (E) for layered CC, enabling safer engages and peels.
First AP or durability item boosts your survivability, allowing more confident trades and roams.
Level 6 (R) expands map impact, letting you join fights or peel, forcing Nautilus to respect your presence.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by denying Nautilus brush and hook angles.
Use (R) to join side fights or protect your ADC during enemy all-ins or roams.
Set river vision and crash waves to create safe roam windows and secure dragon objectives.
