How to play it

✓ DO

Sidestep his Q

Try to sidestep his Q — it's his main poke and the setup for running you down, so don't trade into it with your dashes down.

Punish his W

Punish the window when his W is on cooldown and wait out his Lethal Tempo — take quick trades, then get out.

Save your dashes

Always keep a few dashes in reserve — never dump all your CDs while he still has E to chase, or he statchecks you dead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never blow all your dashes and cooldowns while he still has E and Lethal Tempo — even a full item behind, he'll run you down and kill you.
