How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his Wither

Don't walk up without Phase Rush — he can Wither you, and with Sheen at 6 he'll run you down.

Punish under tower

Shove waves and poke him under turret — post level 4 with two points in Q it's brutal for him.

Deny his healing

If he's healing too much, let the wave push to you so he can't farm his passive off minions.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never keep forcing the 1v1 late — he outscales you, so push the sidelane and rotate to teamfights.
