Beta
Pair with an ADC who has strong waveclear, like Sivir, to hold the lane while you roam. Capitalize on solo experience and Bard's passive to scale effectively. Focus on roaming to impact other lanes once your ADC is in a safe position.

Tip

Be careful of Pantheon’s Shield Vault (W). Keep some distance while laning and use basic attacks inside brushes to contest lane. Always consider that Pantheon may use Grand Starfall(R) to roam, so be ready to follow him or use Tempered Fate [R] to help.
