How to play it

Bait his Q
His Q is the trade: bait it onto the wave, and if he misses, punish him while he's low.
Punish the whiff
If you win the trade, crash the third wave while he's low.
Stay healthy
Miss some CS if it keeps you healthy: farm safely when you can't win the trade.
Never trade while his Q is up: bait it out first.
