Strategy
Gameplan
Early Game
Levels 1–6- →Focus on poking enemies with Q to secure early mage priority and denying CS
- →Play behind minion wave to minimize gank vulnerability while maintaining pressure
- →Rotate to help secure river control and vision at minute 3-4
Mid Game
Post Broken Spear- →Position in teamfights as secondary engage, letting frontline initiate before unleashing full combo
- →Use W to control objectives and create space for your team to secure kills
- →Maintain consistent damage output while staying 2+ hero widths from threats
Late Game
Teamfight phase- →Play around victory conditions—provide cover fire from backline or burst isolated targets
- →Use R to initiate or counter-initiate depending on team composition and positioning
- →Leverage superior range to kite away from melee threats while maintaining damage output

Tips
Pro Tips
- →Maximize Q usage in early game for harass before committing to longer cooldown W and R
- →Position yourself to chain abilities through minion lines and terrain to avoid prediction by enemies
- →In teamfights, identify priority targets before engaging—solo squishies or grouped enemies for AOE value
Bonnie is a S+ tier mage best picked into comps lacking immediate gap closers or heavy engage. Her exceptional AOE and CC make her a reliable teamfight anchor, but weak early survivability requires disciplined positioning and map awareness to avoid early deficits.
