### 1. **Utilize Arcane Shift (E) Wisely**:
- **Engagement vs. Escape**: Use your E not just for escaping but also for engaging. If you see an opportunity to burst down an enemy, use E to reposition and get in a better spot for your Q or auto attacks.
- **Flash Combo**: Combining your E with Flash can surprise enemies. You can Arcane Shift into a fight and then Flash to reposition or dodge a skill shot.
### 2. **Build Adaptively**:
- **Situational Items**: Consider building items like Iceborn Gauntlet if you need more crowd control and survivability or Banshee's Veil against heavy AP compositions.
- **Runes**: Take the Conqueror keystone for extended fights, or if you want to go for burst damage, consider Electrocute. Other useful runes include Nimbus Cloak for mobility and Absolute Focus for additional AD when you’re healthy.
### 3. **Timing Your Q**:
- **Cooldown Management**: Remember that hitting your Q not only deals damage but also reduces the cooldown of your other abilities. Try to hit it consecutively for maximum efficiency.
### 4. **Team Fight Positioning**:
- **Stay in the Backline**: In team fights, position yourself behind your frontline to avoid being targeted. Use your Q from a safe distance and save your E for when you need to escape or reposition.
- **Target Priority**: Focus on squishy targets first, but be aware of threats like divers who may try to dive onto you.
### 5. **Use of R (Trueshot Barrage)**:
- **Global Pressure**: Your ultimate can be used to assist teammates in other lanes or to finish off low-health enemies trying to escape. Aim to hit multiple targets in team fights for maximum effectiveness.
- **Timing**: Don't hesitate to use your R early in fights if it can help secure kills or force enemies to reposition.
### 6. **Watch for Enemy Cooldowns**:
- **Punish Mistakes**: If an enemy uses key cooldowns, such as a gap closer or a crowd control ability, look for opportunities to engage or trade aggressively.
### 7. **Practice Kiting**:
- **Orb Walking**: Mastering the technique of moving between auto attacks (orb walking) is crucial for maximizing your damage while staying mobile. This allows you to dodge skill shots while dealing damage.
### 8. **Communication with Support**:
- **Synergy**: Coordinate with your support for engages or disengages. If you have a support with crowd control, communicate when you’re ready to follow up after they engage.
### 9. **Map Awareness and Roaming**:
- **Roaming Support**: If your support roams, ensure you're safe to farm and keep an eye on enemy jungler movements. It’s an opportunity to push the wave if your support is creating pressure elsewhere.
### 10. **Adapt to the Game State**:
- **Know When to Play Safe**: If you’re behind or the enemy has strong engage, play more defensively. On the other hand, if you’re ahead, look for opportunities to pressure the enemy team and secure objectives.
- **Engagement vs. Escape**: Use your E not just for escaping but also for engaging. If you see an opportunity to burst down an enemy, use E to reposition and get in a better spot for your Q or auto attacks.
