Trading pattern

Use (W) lantern to position ADC aggressively for trades while ready to peel if Galio engages.

Level 3 grants (W) lantern for safer extended trades and potential gank setups.
Level 6 (R) enhances all-in threat and peel, crucial for teamfight entry and objective control.

Win conditions
