How to play it

✓ DO

Respect overheat

Don't sit in his Flamespitter — overheat makes it burn far harder, so stay respectful unless your W is up or you can oneshot him.

All-in at 2

All-in the moment you hit level 2 — fight for it by trading him down, then commit before your wave crashes into his tower.

Dragthrough his Q

If he starts Q, wait for him to commit it, then E in and hit — a short trade favors you since your passive blocks part of the flame.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never taunt in when he's healthy and even — only commit aggressively with a level lead or when he's already much lower.
