Tips & Strategy
- Use Defender of Olympus to rotate from solo lane to a duo fight — the surprise factor wins teamfights.
- Save Confound (taunt) for peel rather than initiation when your carry is under pressure.
- Preemptive Reach stacks with Shield Wall to clear waves fast and build early Thebes stacks.
