Don't be impatient with |(Q)-[2nd]|, holding out for 1 more (AA) always does more Total Dmg. But use [AKA]: Use your Second-(Q) when the targets health is low enough to satisfy... [Execution] <= |[1x]-(Q)| + |[1x]-(AA)| --------------------------------------------------- [LEVEL 3-5]: Repeat this process. 1.) Set up the wave for quick trades with (*Q*)-IN 2.) Look to get [2]-"AutoAttacks"... |[2x]-(AA)|...on your laner. If you can drop solid (E), go for the "All-In". 3.) Always use your (Q) as an *Auto-Reset*.
