Ideally go safe lane with a support and concentrate on last hits, but you are viable in any lane. If you go mid, start with 3 branches and a tango and rush a bottle. You are strongest in mid to late game once you have enough mana for 2-3 bursts+ult, but are dangerous at all stages in the game. Don't forget your ult stuns, so use it on TPing enemies even if they have high HP.
