Ideally played as a 1, can be played as a 2 with minor modifications. Major power spikes are level 3 and Scepter.

Just bully the other guy out of lane with Arctic Burn and use Splinter Blast to shove waves and farm stacks.

Kite enemy cores using Arctic Burn and Witch Blade to win fights when Winter's Curse is not available.

Pairs best with heroes who can use Winter's Curse to setup, consistent stuns/slows to help you secure kills in the midgame, or just someone who can distract the enemy team for you.

Countered by heroes that don't get bullied out of lane, Disruptor, and anything that can jump you at a decent range.
