How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his spear

Dodge his W spear — sidestep the poke and he struggles to gank or open on you.

Keep your dash

Don't get baited into dashing out on his third auto — the knock-up cancels your dash.

Respect his R

While his R is active, don't waste damage on him unless you're inside its radius — Crescent Guard blocks hits from outside.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never take an extended slapfight with him — that's exactly where he wins.
