Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 tilt slightly your way on raw range, but the lane is defined by Sivir's Spell Shield. Land Baleful Strike stacks on the caster minion and poke when her E is down, yet never throw your Event Horizon or R into an obvious shield window. Her Boomerang and Ricochet will shove you in, so accept losing prio and farm the stacks that matter for later.
