How to play it

✓ DO

Don't eat his E

The mind game is whoever E's first loses — never let him land his E on you and the wave, and punish him if he tries.

Freeze and punish

He can't hit the wave for free — freeze and hard-trade every time he steps up to break it and he has no real 1v1 answer.

Wait out his Q

Always hold your melee E until he's used his Q — spend it early and he lands his own E-Q to long-trade you down.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never spend your melee E before he's used his Q — do it and his long-trade beats you.
