How to play it

✓ DO

Wall his Q

Keep minions between you and his Q (or Q-E) — that's how he pokes you down at range.

Taunt at 2-3

Look for the taunt at level 2 or 3 — land it at 3 and you win the all-in hard.

His hammer knock

After you taunt he'll knock you back with his hammer — if much healthier, kite between him and his tower so he can't disengage.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never telegraph your taunt — throw it from the very edge of your range.
