How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his R

His R is the main threat — level 6 is a huge powerspike where his W-R-Q can chunk or kill you, so don't fight it head-on.

Punish a missed W

Before 6, if he misses the outward or the return hit of his W, you can freely W onto him and win the trade.

Dodge his W

Most of his damage comes from his passive — dodging at least half his W denies it; if W lands he Qs on and procs it for big damage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let his W land into a Q — it procs his passive for massive damage.
