How to play it

Bully levels 5-9

Respect his ult

His ult is his turnaround/escape tool — commit your damage before he can use it to slip your all-in.

Empowered auto

When you steal and cast his ult, make sure you land an empowered auto right after for the extra chunk.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never play passive through levels 5-9 — that's the window where you win this lane.
