How to play it

✓ DO

Deny his E

Keep your wave near turret and stand in it so he can't E-tether in to statcheck you.

Poke with Q

Poke him with your Qs while he farms instead of committing to a slap-fight.

No slap-fights

Avoid straight-up trades — his deceiving early damage plus passive healing win most slap-fights.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never get dragged into a straight-up slap-fight — his damage and healing win those.
