How to play it

✓ DO

Respect empowered W

His empowered W deletes your W shield — the tool you lean on — and his R instantly refills his rage, so never assume the shred is on cooldown.

Punish his E-in

When he E's forward with only half a rage bar, dash out with Q; he's stuck with E down, and if he burns rage to chase you can W to block and punish.

Space with Q lvl 1

At level 1 out-space him with Q and take W second — if he skips W for E, abuse that window before his empowered W comes online.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade your W into his rage bar — his empowered W deletes the shield you rely on, and his R refills that rage instantly.
