Respect th' foe's reliable threat
Track th' cooldown and range o' th' trick that starts their safest trade. Do nay treat this chart as a statistical counter claim.
Yer course
Use th' course ye prepared
Keep Vex visible afore committing. Th' second Bot-course champion and nigh th' ship Jungler can change whether th' same engage be seaworthy.
Trick reminders
Lee Sin reminders
Use Sonic Wave afore Dragon's Rage so ye can chase th' target wit' Resonating Strike.
Take advantage o' Flurry by weaving in basic attacks betwixt spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy defeat.
Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will be powerful tools fer killing neutral monsters (in th' jungle).

Adapt th' course
What to do when th' battle changes
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Ahead course
Use course control to secure vision and seaworthy pressure
1
Course
Deny space wit' yer course partner, but keep th' carry moored to th' wave instead o' roaming at every opportunity.
2
Sea chart play
Move first aboard wit' an ally, establish vision and protect th' course yer crew will use to enter.
3
Fights
Set sail only when crewmates can follow, then change to peel if an foe reaches th' protected carry.
Even course
Balance course pressure wit' protection fer th' carry
1
Course
Hold th' trick that makes foes respect yer course and trade when both Bot-course partners be shipshape.
2
Sea chart play
Recall and move on seaworthy wave timings; an unsupported roam can cost th' carry an entire wave or a dive.
3
Fights
Control one approach and keep enough protection fer th' foe's most likely engage.
Behind course
Protect seaworthy farm and rebuild vision one area at a time
1
Course
Stay fer a crashing wave, block a dive and avoid spending th' key defensive trick on low-value poke.
2
Sea chart play
Enter darkness wit' another sailor and ward th' nearest useful entrance instead o' reaching fer deep vision.
3
Fights
Peel first aboard and punish overextension. A blind engage rarely repairs a losing battle.
Pings, movement and prizes
Lee Sin Support sea chart course
Turn ship's intelligence into a shared decision. Move wit' an ally and preserve th' tool that makes th' next aboard fight seaworthy.
Ahead
Make th' lead open th' sea chart
Ping
Use On Me Way afore changing angle, then Assist Me on Dragon after Bot be seaworthy to move. Use Peril if th' carry starts following through an unsafe course.
Sea chart movement
Roam after a pushed wave, shared recall or when th' carry can collect safely. Deep wards still require th' Jungler or another nigh th' ship ally.
Prize
Arrive early, clear th' deck th' foe entrance and hold th' key engage or peel spell. Do nay chase astern from Dragon and hand th' foe a free course back aboard in.
Even
Create one clear th' deck numbers advantage
Ping
Use On Me Way afore an engage or roam, Foe Lost overboard as soon as a course foe disappears, and Peril when yer carry cannae follow.
Sea chart movement
Leave only on a seaworthy wave or recall timing. If th' carry would meet defeat a full wave or face a dive, stay Bot and communicate that ye be nay moving.
Prize
Lend a hand Bot finish th' wave, then enter river wit' th' Jungler. Set vision afore starting and avoid turning an even prize into an unseen gamble.
Behind
Stop th' next aboard defeat afore seeking a play
Ping
Use Retreat or Peril afore an ally enters darkness, Foe Lost overboard immediately, and Assist Me when ye need company to restore defensive vision.
Sea chart movement
Do nay abandon a crashing wave or vulnerable carry. Move after th' wave be stable and use th' nearest seaworthy ward line rather than forcing deep vision.
Prize
If yer crew cannae enter river safely, ping Retreat and trade fer farm, vision or another sea chart resource. Contest only after creating a seaworthy course together.
Prize setup
Arrr, four calls, in order
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
1
Afore th' move
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
2
Arrr, enter together
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
3
Afore starting
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
4
During th' contest
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
Arrr, keep preparing
