How to play it
DO
Respect his EQ engage
His EQ knock-up all-in is his only real threat — respect the burst, because once you survive it his kit can't out-grind you.
Out-shield and out-sustain
His W shield cannot compare to yours and you hard out-sustain him, so drag fights long and win the duel.
Favoured skirmish
This is an easy jungle matchup — take extended trades and contest objectives; his kit can't keep up with your sustain.
DON'T
Never bail out of an extended trade — your shield and sustain out-grind him the longer it goes.
