Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his pull (E)

The lane is a loss, so never get caught by his E pull — once he yanks you in you can't survive the laning phase, which is the whole job here.

Survival setup

Take Ghost + Heal with Unsealed Spellbook and just play to survive — this is a live-through-it lane, not a fight-back one.

Rush Warden's

Warden's Mail rush is how you eat his early pressure; stack armor and farm what you safely can.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to trade or win the lane straight up — it's a loss, so just survive it and take your value later.
