How to play it

✓ DO

W his E-Q

React and W his E into Q — his E hands him a huge attack-speed buff, so E to slow and kite it out.

Reengage after CDs

Let his passive armor wear off, then reengage and punish him once his cooldowns are down.

Don't feed his Decoy

Don't blindly R him unless he uses W first, or he Decoys straight out of it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never take a long trade with him — his E + Q + passive armor win extended fights.
