How to play it

✓ DO

Don't eat his E

Don't let his E hit you — it's a free trade for him, especially if he's running Hail of Blades.

All-in on missed Q

When he whiffs his Q, all-in — that's your opening, especially into the tank build.

Space his Q

Use your E to space out his Qs so his Rupture can't catch you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never get Feasted — his R is the execute that ends you, so don't be low into it.
