How to play it

✓ DO

Watch R -> Flash

His R plus Flash is his only gap-closer onto you — stay out of that range when it's up.

Trade on his CDs

Force trades while his Q and E are down — all your abilities outrange his only CS tools.

Bait then poison

With mana and both poisons, throw one, then land the second after he ults in.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never sit in his E range while soaking minion aggro — the slow stops you disengaging unless Stormraider's Surge procs.
