How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Qs

Dodge his Steel Tempest by reading his dash animation — eating Qs is how he out-trades you.

Windwall down

When his Wind Wall is on cooldown he's a free kill, and with nothing nearby to dash on he can't escape.

Bait the wall

Walk up without Qing to bait his Wind Wall, then drop shroud and dodge — patience beats forcing your damage out.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dive in deep and eat his Qs just to land your damage a little faster — stay patient and keep your range.
