MID · 7-13
Roam & trade

Eclipse + Ionian Boots + Opportunity is your spike. Naafiri dives squishies — roam side lanes post-6 for pickoffs.

Youmuu's Ghostblade 2nd item = movement speed + burst. Serylda's Grudge 3-4th item shreds tanks. Pick off ADC/mid in skirmishes — your kill threshold is 60%+ HP.
