How to play it

✓

Bait his cage

Bait his E cage before you all-in: its 20s early cooldown is longer than your W and E, so you can wait it out.

✓

All-in early

He's weak before his first item: get a freeze, chunk him down, then all-in.

✓

Watch half HP

Once he hits 6, respect his burst around half HP: above that it's no big deal.

Don't panic inside his cage: you have plenty of room to dodge around, and it's down far more than it's up.
