How to play it

✓ DO

Don't get run down

With your combo on cooldown he sticks to you and statchecks with Lethal Tempo — never fight without your rotation up.

Freeze and rotate

Freeze and play around his cooldowns — land two full rotations and you win the all-in.

Steelcaps here

Tabis/Plated Steelcaps are better into him than into Yone because he deals less magic damage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dump your combo and cooldowns early — with your rotation down he simply runs you down with Lethal Tempo.
