The support page is Guardian with Font of Life, Second Wind and Revitalize, plus Manaflow Band and Transcendence. Take Flash with Exhaust; Heal and Cleanse are options, and Cleanse is our favourite. Start World Atlas and upgrade it to Dream Maker, Celestial Opposition or Solstice Sleigh. The core is Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Dream Maker, Locket of the Iron Solari, Redemption, Knight's Vow and Ardent Censer, with Staff of Flowing Water as a last-slot option. Situationally, buy Mikael's Blessing into heavy crowd control, Force of Nature into burst AP, or Frozen Heart into heavy AD. In the jungle, an alternative setup starts Gustwalker Hatchling and builds Ionian Boots, Nashor's Tooth and Dusk and Dawn into Rabadon's Deathcap. Its rune page used Phase Rush, which is no longer in the game.

Strengths

  • Handshake roots and throws enemies, setting up kills or escapes.
  • Bailout and Loyalty Program support laners in ganks and fights.
  • Hostile Takeover is a powerful teamfight tool and can even help steal objectives.

Weaknesses

  • Very high cooldowns early; she needs ability haste to function.
  • Hook supports like Blitzcrank and Pyke punish her low mobility.
  • Assassins and divers like Talon, Zed, Rengar or Briar run her down; Yasuo and Mel block her ultimate.

Laning Phase

As support, hooks are your biggest problem: Blitzcrank and Pyke punish every misstep, so stay behind minions. Hyper-carries like Kog'Maw, Zeri and Jinx get the most out of Bailout and Dream Maker. If you try her in the jungle, learn her as a support first and avoid fights you aren't sure to win. Clear with E and W, kite big monsters by hitting Handshake and recasting it the other way, and gank through the river from behind enemy laners.

Mid & Late Game

In fights, auto at least once so Leverage's mark lets allies deal bonus damage. Use Handshake to throw squishy or slow targets toward your team. Decide whether Bailout is a lifeline or a speed and attack-speed boost for your ADC. Hostile Takeover shines in bot lane and in teamfights with many targets. In the jungle version, don't prioritize early Dragons, and only take Void Grubs or Rift Herald with help or when the enemy jungler is elsewhere.

Key Tips

  • Handshake doubles as an escape tool — root and push away assassins like Rengar or Nocturne.
  • Use Bailout on auto-attacking laners during ganks to help them chase.
  • Wait for Yasuo's Wind Wall before casting Hostile Takeover.
