How to play it

✓

Survive level 1

Respect his level 1: soak XP and farm what you can until your jungler arrives.

✓

Trade from level 3

At 3+ he loses long trades and has no sustain: healthy (50%+) you can even outdamage his ult.

✓

Fear his Cyclone

Post-6, do not fight while his R is up: it's a 120–90s cooldown, so bait it out first.

Never fight him after 6 while his Cyclone is up: he kills you every time.
