Danger windows

Ward river early to track Alistar's roam timer and protect ADC from flank angles.

Power spikes

Level 2: Hook plus passive root unlocks strong all-in windows; coordinate with ADC for burst.
Level 3: Full kit with (W) shield and (E) slow enhances engage and peel around brush control.
Level 6: (R) secures lockdown, enabling decisive fights or safe disengages with ADC.

Win conditions

Set river vision to track Alistar's roams and enable safe ADC recalls or aggressive plays.
Coordinate (R) engages with ADC follow-up to force enemy summoner spells and secure dragon setups.
