How to play it

✓ DO

Run from his W

His W stun opens the all-in — disengage from it, and just run from him if he's maxing E.

Dump after his E

When he steps up, dump your damage after his E ends — Aegis Assault blocks what you throw into it.

Don't trade with stacks

Never trade him while his passive is stacked or his ignite is up — that's when he bursts you down.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade into his stacked passive or during his ignite — that's when he bursts you down.
