Overview

Use (W) to link and shield your ADC, enabling extended fights against Pyke's burst.
Deny Pyke's hook angles by controlling brush and maintaining tight vision lines.
Focus on enabling your ADC's committed trades and punishing Pyke's roam attempts with wave crashes.

Trading pattern

Engage only when your ADC can follow up inside (W) range to maximize (E) stun threat.
Hold (R) to counter Pyke's burst and execute attempts, forcing him to disengage.
Peel proactively when (Q) hook or (E) stun is available to protect your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook range from brush and fog before stepping into lane space.
Beware Pyke's level 2-3 hook plus (E) stun combo that can isolate your ADC.
Track Pyke's roam timer post-wave crash to avoid exposing your ADC to picks mid or jungle.

Early game

Track level 2 closely to time your (Q) heal plus (E) stun with ADC follow-up.
Deny Pyke brush control early to limit his hook threat and force safer positioning.
Use wave state to keep ADC safe before attempting to contest or engage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) heal and (E) stun, enabling safer extended trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 completes your kit, allowing flexible (W) link angles to threaten Pyke's engage.
Level 6 (R) provides strong all-in or peel windows, turning fights if timed before Pyke's burst.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (E) stun angles into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC access.
Use (R) with your ADC during dragon setup to force Pyke's disengage or failed all-ins.
Ward river and punish Pyke's roam attempts by crashing waves and resetting lane pressure.
