Your main goal early game is to poke poke poke and get your bird up as soon as possible. You wanna be birding off cooldown and getting picks in other lanes, comm with your team. This will help you snowball super quickly (4 bird kills is a free boundless).

Once you start coming online (around boundless and burn / mystic) you're looking for picks, with and without teammates. Still finishing with bird wherever possible even if they are in your face. You have a lot of movement that allows you to get out of bad engages, play around how slippery you are. Barriers are also your friend as they scale with spirit.

All good, get whatever you want / whatever applies
