How to play it

✓ DO

Watch his shrooms

Step on a shroom without Q up and you're dead — walk in the minion line so they trip them first.

Outscale window

You outscale him hard at Stridebreaker — your level 11 all-in is strong, so just survive to it.

Save E for cannons

He blinds your auto-attacks, so hold E to secure cannon minions.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Feed him kills — zero deaths is the whole plan, so farm it out and wait for your jungler.
