Overview

Hold (R) to deny Twisted Fate's burst or punish his all-ins and roams.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on minions or slowed targets to punish Twisted Fate's low mobility.
Use (E) speed and slow to control trade distance and kite his Gold Card attempts.
Avoid trading when bombs miss or (R) is down to prevent being vulnerable to his poke.

Danger windows

Respect Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun range; avoid standing in all-in range without (R).
Beware of his level 6 (R) roam pressure creating side-lane numbers disadvantage.

Avoid extended duels before level 6 when Twisted Fate lacks Gold Card safety.
Use early wave control to deny Twisted Fate's roam window after pushing wave.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks double bomb plus speed, enabling stronger coordinated trades.
Level 3 grants (W) for double bomb resets, increasing poke and peel potential.
Level 6 (R) provides revive to counter Twisted Fate's burst and secure safer all-ins.

Win conditions

Control lane with bomb threat and speed to deny Twisted Fate's Gold Card setups.
Use (R) to negate enemy burst and enable safer ADC trades or counter-engages.
Coordinate with ADC to punish Twisted Fate's roams by crashing waves and resetting quickly.
