How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his 6 all-in

His R at 6 drags you into his realm — you can still win it, especially if you E his abilities.

Poke pre-6

Start Q level 1, stack it, and poke — he is weaker than you before 6, so take priority.

Short trades only

Take only short trades, don't tank his passive for free, and never dump stacked Q or R2/R3 into his shield.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Use your W before he has ulted — it will not follow you into his realm.
