How to play it
DO
Respect Wind Wall
His Wind Wall can block your E2 and stop you from stealing his ult — don't throw either into it.
Pop his shield
Land Q first to proc his shield, then open up aggressive trades from level 3 onward.
Solo-kill window
He's one of the only champs you can solo kill before 6 — max W and force the all-in once his shield is down.
DON'T
Never spend your E2 or go for the ult-steal into an up Wind Wall — it wastes the whole window.
