How to play it

✓ DO

Catch him clean

He roams a lot — if you don't land your CC on him he can just Magical Journey away before you punish it.

He's dead once CC'd

If he's CC'd, he's dead — he has almost nothing to survive an extended fight.

Bait on objectives

Try to set up around an objective to bait his roam — he's drawn to them and it's your best chance to catch him.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never chase him without CC lined up — he'll just Magical Journey out before you land it.
