Avoid trading from levels 1-3; use Bladesurge to last hit and keep distance.In laning phase, use Defiant Dance to chip minions, then Bladesurge into Equilibrium Strike to trade.After 6, use Vanguard's Edge - Bladesurge combo to hide trajectory and prevent being interrupted by Thundering Blow.Mid-game, split push to pressure Jayce and avoid teamfights.In teamfights, look for backline access; use Vanguard's Edge to slow and lock down targets.
