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

Respect her ult

You can't trade back — survive her all-in and poke; her R is also the ult you want to hijack for teamfights.

Farm to survive

The whole plan is laning survival — if you're even in CS you're doing great.

Value is teamfights

Your window isn't lane — group with her hijacked ult and win the 5v5.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to win lane straight up — you play only to survive and scale.
