How to play Franco

1Hook has long cooldown — miss one, game’s over for 14 seconds.
2Ult suppress is un-cleansable except by Wind of Nature / Winter Truncheon.
3Always warden from bushes — his hook tells get spotted easily.
4Against Diggie / Winter Truncheon, save ult for secondary targets.
5Build 1-2 damage items; pure tank Franco underperforms.
