How to play it

✓ DO

Block his Q

At level 3+ block his Q with your W and win the short trade with Empowered Q's.

Win level 1

Trade level 1 with Empowered Q's — you come out ahead even if he trades back, and you can fight for level 2 first.

Watch his passive

Track his passive stacks — if he eats 3 Empowered Q's without trading back to stack it, give him the push in exchange for that HP.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade into him without an Empowered Q ready — that's what wins you every exchange.
