How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Null Lance

His Q shields and silences — dodge the damage with your W if timed right, then trade once the shield is down.

All-in with ult up

You win every all-in while your ult is up — play longer trades and punish him after he Qs the wave.

Watch his mana

His Riftwalk costs more mana every cast, so early he's often mana-starved with no way out — pay attention to it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never commit without your ult up — you win all-ins with it, but without it he'll chase you down.
