Advanced Tips

Play Claude around the strongest timing of the Marksman role.
Watch the minimap before forcing fights.
Save escape or control skills for enemy dive.
Win fight → take turret, Turtle/Lord, or enemy jungle. Do not chase forever.
Use Claude when the enemy key escape or control skill is already used.
Do not fight randomly before objectives; prepare vision and cooldowns first.
After winning a fight, take turret, Turtle, Lord, or enemy jungle instead of chasing too far.
