How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his W

His W (Path Maker) is most of his damage — use your own W to dodge it, but not too late or your dash gets canceled and it's over.

Trade W/E down

When he has no W or E up you can heavy-trade and win most exchanges — just always beware his ult.

E into Q

Set up your Q with your E for a safe disengage combo, and respect his E-into-Q engage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dump all your dashes the moment his W kidnaps you under tower — save one to dash out and escape.
