How to play it

✓ DO

Bait out his Q

Before you jump in with Q, move around him first — he buffers Rupture to knock you up right as you land.

Your E always lands

Your E does % max HP and he's so immobile it's a guaranteed hit every time.

Heartsteel Cho is fine

If he stacks raw health with no resists (Heartsteel rush), you're completely fine with it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dive in with Q while his Rupture is up without circling first — he'll buffer the knockup onto your landing.
