Boundless Strike is a great initiation OR finishing move if the enemy either gets too far from you. You can use Boundless Strike after Wukongs Command to stun foes within your circle. Also great for farming in combination with Tree Dance.

Use Tree Dance to: 1. Gain full vision of a fight or ganking enemies near your team 2. Chase/follow unsuspecting enemies that you want to gank 3. Prepare for an initiation with your Primal Spring 4. Escape and teleport a way on a tree Abilities work while you are in the trees (and you stay on the tree). If the tree youre standing on gets destroyed, youll be stunned. Use this ability to farm.

Primal Spring needs some forethought to accurately charge for the full damage/slow and target the enemy accurately. Use Primal Spring to: 1. Enter a fight later (and for ideal positioning - targeting enemies in the back), 2. To follow-through on a Tree Dance escape 3. initiate on solo enemies

Use Shadow Blade/Silver Edge after using your ultimate to safely hide
