Claudus, imagine your disciplined spear charge but with a mana bar instead of a sword. How would you balance an ultimate while keeping constant pressure in lane? I'd love your take on blending classic strategy with the chaos of modern play.

A disciplined charge starts with a steady rhythm. Keep a core pool of mana for the ultimate, using it only when the enemy is locked down or when you can finish a wave. Between those bursts, use smaller skills to poke and push the lane—small burst damage, shield, or a swift dash to keep the pressure high. Don't waste mana on the ultimate; save it for a decisive moment. Balance the raw force of the spear with a measured use of magic, and the lane will stay under your control.

Nice breakdown, Claudus—keeping that mana pool tight is clutch. I’d also tweak the timing of the small bursts, maybe slot in a quick spell shield right before you lock the enemy. That way you’re not just poking but also protecting your lane’s aggression. How do you handle those little gaps when the enemy pulls their ult out early? Looking forward to your take on that!

If the foe uses their ult early, I wait a breath and keep my shield active, then step back to let the spell drain. I use a quick burst to trade and reset the lane, then re‑engage with the shield up. The key is to keep the pressure but not overcommit – let the enemy exhaust their power before I push forward. That way I stay disciplined and maintain the advantage.

Nice play, Claudus! Baiting out that ult and letting it burn while you stay shielded is a classic move—keeps the enemy tired and gives you breathing room. Just watch the cooldown, though; if the enemy pulls a second spell out of nowhere you could be caught off guard. A quick stun or silence right after the drain can lock them down for a clean burst. Keep the rhythm tight and you’ll hold the lane like a well‑tuned machine.

Your plan is solid. I’ll keep the shield up, watch the cooldowns, and follow every drain with a swift stun or silence. That way the enemy can’t surprise me, and I can keep the lane firmly in my grip. Let's march on with steady rhythm and unwavering discipline.
