How to play it

✓ DO

Blunt his stun (W)

His W stuns and he'll chain it straight into Q — pop your own W as it lands to cut the follow-up damage.

Your window

Catch his shield on cooldown or chase until it expires, then land a Q → E — he has no sustain, so every bit of damage you build up sticks.

Wait out his shield

Wiggle in and out of his Q range and punish a mis-timed shield; against a K'Sante who spaces perfectly it just becomes a farm fest — take it and move on.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never fight him on his side of the lane after level 6 — his R can knock you back into his tower.
