Level 3 Unlock E; drop on wave to thin if getting shoved. Hold the wave 6–7 minions near your tower; avoid long trades pre-SheenSheenGrants a bonus to next attack after spell cast.
Level 4–5 Crash WAVE 4 for a cannon recall at ~3:45–4:10 if pressured; first cannon arrives on wave 4 in S25 (not wave 3).
