•Charge the last-hit with AA-W: stand where their farm step makes the wave carry your trade, because Sivir's lane pressure comes from taxing that minion touch with bounce damage more than from throwing early Qs on cooldown
•Treat Spell Shield as the Sivir step—block the hook, bind, or setup spell that was supposed to start their lane, then use that exact moment to walk up and hit back, because E often grants contact instead of only preventing damage
•In fights, pick the target that gives Ricochet a path through the rest of the team; Sivir looks strongest when bodies are stacked and games stay grouped, but real early gold holes still leave her short of the damage she wants later
