Tips
Use your passive, Crimson Pact, to stack AP and health for extra sustain in ARAM's constant fights.
Save your W, Sanguine Pool, to dodge key enemy abilities or engage safely, as it makes you untargetable.
Build Spirit Visage early if the enemy has heavy magic damage to boost your healing from Q and R.
In ARAM, prioritize Zhonya's Hourglass to survive burst and set up your ultimate combo.
Use your ultimate, Hemoplague, on multiple enemies in teamfights for massive healing and damage.
