Maximize your passive healing by last-hitting minions with Orb of Deception (Q) to sustain through poke.
Save Spirit Rush (R) for dodging key skillshots or escaping ambushes in the tight Howling Abyss.
Build Luden's Echo for waveclear and poke damage, as ARAM favors constant skirmishing.
Coordinate with your team to chain crowd control after landing a Charm for easy picks.
