- 01Don’t break Dazzling Trick’s barrier at close range; it silences on break.
- 02Step out of Radiant Daggers’ beam before it forms.
- 03Spread to limit Shining Wonder’s bounces.

Laning
Win the lane: Paradox into Celeste
- 01Celeste wins the farm by ~5.1 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.

- 03Celeste has sustain (Light Eater). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
