Why this works
Applying Lycan's Howl to every arrow from Medusa's Split Shot is a core part of this pairing. The main idea is to use Lycan's early aggression to create space. While he threatens towers with his summons and forces enemy rotations, Medusa gets the safe farm she needs to secure her core items. Once she's ready, they can group up. Lycan provides a massive frontline and objective damage, taking down buildings quickly under the cover of Medusa's sustained teamfight damage. Stone Gaze can also lock down opponents, setting them up for Lycan and his army to run them over.
