How to play it
DO
Fear his level 2
Don't push into his level 2 — it's his strongest point, and he'll run you down with Sweeping Blade and kill you easily.
Break his shield
Pop his shield, wait out cooldowns, then all-in — that's your cleanest window to kill him.
Don't R into Windwall
Never ult into his Wind Wall — he blocks Gwen R on reaction easily, so don't rely on landing it.
DON'T
Never fight him at level 1 — he destroys you, so start Q and just last-hit the first minions.
