How to play it

Respect his E
His E knocks you away to reset the fight and has a long cooldown early (20s at rank 1): save your Q to dash right back onto him the moment he uses it.
All-in the swap
The instant he swaps to ranged form he can't switch back to melee for a few seconds, so he can't push you away: all-in then, and post-6 your ult makes the kill real.
Punish wasted poke
Fight whenever he misses or wastes his E-Q poke: that's your window to E-Q onto him, and anytime your E lands it should be a kill or his Flash.
Never swing at him when he's spacing well before 6: whiff your E and you take heavy damage.
