Use Sonic Wave (Q) to poke and follow up with Resonating Strike (Q) when it hits for burst damage.

Save Safeguard (W) to shield allies or dash to minions for escape in tight ARAM fights.

Tempest (E) slows enemies, making it easier to land your Q or peel for your team.

Dragon's Rage (R) can knock multiple enemies into your tower or team for easy picks.

Build tanky items like Goredrinker or Sterak's Gage to survive longer in constant ARAM skirmishes.
