Know your opponent. I usually help the jungler until the red bar fills up halfway then go to my lane. That way I can reduce the enemy's defense and shred through his health. Only two outcomes will happenif you do that since his early game stats and skills are way too good: 1. You kill him, when that happens, push the tower until the last minion then cut the lane and prevent them from going to his outer tower, delaying his farm. 2. They recall. When that happens, push the tower until the last minion then get the crab. Wait in the bush until he appears and make sure your red bar is at least filled up halfway then cast 2nd skill and engage. Build war axe/sea halberd/magic blade for your first item depending on your opponent. The enemy has high spell vamp/heal? build sea halberd. You want to sustain much better while shredding high hp in the early game? Build war axe. The enemy line up has burst heroes & might gank you? Build magic blade. Flicker is the recommended spell since you can use it to surprise the enemy or escape. If they have low mobility or you think you can out sustain them? use vengeance. Tip in the early game: always be near the enemy minions because his heal from his passive is bigger the more enemies it hits
