Thresh into Nautilusmedium

Overview

Control brush to threaten hook angles and deny Nautilus's engage access.
Use lantern proactively to protect immobile ADCs from Nautilus's all-in.
Maintain lane space to enable ADC follow-up and prevent Nautilus from layering passive root.

Respect Nautilus's hook range and passive root when ADC steps up near brush.
Avoid overextending when Nautilus's is off cooldown to prevent forced flashes or deaths.
Beware of Nautilus engaging from fog or brush without vision, especially near river control.

Level 2 unlocks + combo, increasing engage and peel threat; coordinate with ADC.
Level 3 grants lantern for safer trades and extended ADC access.
Level 6 enables strong all-in or peel; use with ADC follow-up and river vision.

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC trades.
Use lantern to enable aggressive ADC trades and extend ganks safely.
Set river vision and time roams after wave crashes to impact mid and dragon setups.
