How to play it
DO
Avoid soldier poke
Just avoid his soldiers early — don't get poked down too much before your items come online.
All-in at 6
At level 6 you have the better all-in, and you're stronger through your first 1-3 items.
He outscales you
He's one of the few mids who outscales Viktor — close the game out while you hold the lead.
DON'T
Sit in a full soldier line and get chunked — the poke stacks up and stalls your item spike.
