When Chip the enemy down safely during laning

1. QSlow→
2. WPlace

Tip When Q's slow lands, open W beneath the target so both its initial hit and delayed eruption connect. Each spell hit adds Deconstruction, so W's two instances complete three stacks for true damage; add a basic attack only when safe to refresh the stack duration.

When Catch enemies dodging beside minions using the split angle

1. QFirst bolt→
2. QRecast split

Tip Send Q beside rather than directly at the target, then recast when the projectile reaches their perpendicular line so the 90-degree split covers the dodge. It also splits automatically on a hit or at maximum range, so manual recast is for creating an unexpected timing and angle.

When Kill setup: reach 3 stacks then finish with R

1. EKnock up→
2. WPlace→
3. QHit→
4. PTrue damage→
5. RFinish

Tip Landing E-W-Q stacks Deconstruction to 3, triggering the true damage and marking them Researched so R hits hard.

When Landing a surprise knock-up from an unexpected range

1. Flash→
2. EEmpowered→
3. WPlace→
4. Q3 stacks→
5. RFinish

Tip Flash to close E's range and angle suddenly, then place the blast under the target for its 0.75-second knock-up. Casting E near Vel'Koz creates an anomaly that knocks nearby enemies farther away; it does not make the cast instant, so pre-place W on the landing point and follow with Q-R.
