How to play it

✓ DO

His empowered Q

Don't over-fear his empowered Q — you still win trades pre-6, and he often plays too aggressive with it expecting no answer.

Punish his aggression

Let him walk in to land his Q, then answer with your full ranged-form combo — stay close for Conqueror, and E him off if he pools your melee Q.

Farm, don't poke

He has sustain and no mana, so little pokes give you nothing — take level-1 prio and focus the wave instead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never waste small trades into his sustain and mana-less kit — those pokes only cost you, so focus the wave.
