How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his poke

Play him exactly like Lux, Morgana or Xerath — a long-range poke mage, so keep dodging his skillshots.

Step up when he whiffs

Same as those poke mages — weather the poke, then take your turn once he's spent his skillshots.

No special prep

There's nothing matchup-specific to learn here — the exact gameplan you run against Lux, Morgana and Xerath applies.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never treat him as anything other than a poke mage — walking into his skillshots the way you would a melee is how you lose.
