How to play it

✓ DO

Block his Q

He opens every trade with Q (Chomp) — block it with your passive shield or W, then trade back.

Trade then zone

Win early short trades, then zone him off the wave to hit level 2 first and go for the classic all-in.

Short trades only

Use your extra range for short trades and kite backwards between autos — don't let him extend it into a full level-1 all-in.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never taunt first unless you're up a level or the HP gap is big — otherwise his R healing wins the fight.
