How to play it

✓ DO

E before Q

He can dodge your Q by dashing into you with his E — always land your E first to guarantee the pull and the Q.

Zone and short-trade

Zone him off the wave at level 1 with Q or W, then short-trade him down until he's low enough to all-in.

Crash and freeze

Two-wave crash into a bounce-back so he can't walk up anymore without being run down or ganked.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never Q him without landing your E first — he'll just dash in and dodge it.
