How to play it

✓ DO

Body-block his Q

Stand behind your casters so his Q can't reach you — no Q means no stun and no all-in.

All-in after 6

After 6 you hard win — look for all-ins, just don't waste R while he can still W out.

E his dive

Use E to dodge his W when he dives on top of you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never ult him while his W is up — he just W's out and wastes your cooldown.
