How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Q poke

Don't let him poke you — you have no sustain to heal it back, so sidestep every Q.

All-in or play safe

Commit to a full all-in or just sit back and farm — never trade half-heartedly in his poke range.

He runs from your combo

He can dash out of your chain combo, so force his escape before you fully commit.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit in his poke range trading half-heartedly — you have no sustain, so it's all-in or play safe.
