Early game (levels 1–5)

You get to bully from the first minion. Aurelion Sol farms passively with no early damage and is completely immobile, so your Chain Lash pokes him off his stack camp and Petricite autos win every step. Shove hard and threaten Abscond so he can never settle into a comfortable Q channel.
