How to play it

✓ DO

High-value barrels

The whole matchup rides on whether you let him land high-value Powder Kegs on you and the wave — deny that value.

Punish him early

He's very vulnerable on his first three level transitions — pressure him and crash the third wave.

Stay out of minions

Don't stand in your own minions so his barrels can't get enough value to take prio.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to force the solo kill without your jungler — if he plays correctly you can't kill him, so just zone him off the wave.
