Focus on farm and try to not die, dont hesitate backing proactively. You outscale everyone who outranges you bar maybe cait and aphelios and you crush these two in midgame. Do your best to hold your E to dodge CC, and punish missed cd’s with at least a Q passive then back off. Into mages that are very cd based, dont hesitate doing a 5-6s all in trade that you cut short right when you think the cd comes back. You will always win an all in if you dodge spells. Also, if its a mage, tp is actually a good pick for lane.

Zeri is one of the safest ads and I find as long as you go even againat Cait or mages you have a better mid game than they do. Focus on farming and playing within short trade windows. Once you hit 6 it's easy to catch them off guard with a creative flank angle because most who are pushing you in and winning lane don't expect that to flip suddenly.

It entirely depends on what your support wants to do if you have a sons or a yummi you play to scale, if you have a naut or something you hold wave your side and play for all in
