How to Play Smolder in ARAM Mayhem

You play Smolder from the back line, hitting champions with Super Scorcher Breath (Q) and Achooo! (W) as often as you can, since every champion hit adds a Dragon Practice stack and your Q gains area damage and later a true damage burn as stacks grow. Save Flap, Flap, Flap (E) to escape divers or to finish low-health targets. Essence Reaver and Spear of Shojin keep your abilities cycling.
