How to play it
DO
Dodge his E
His E is how he pokes and constantly chunks you down — sidestep it and contest him on the wave.
Kill his ghouls
Your W and Q each instakill a ghoul, so you can wipe 3 of his 4 ghouls instantly and cut most of his damage.
Punish the Maiden
If he hard-commits to defending his Maiden, all-in him — you deal a lot of damage there and can kill him.
DON'T
Never tunnel-vision the Maiden — if taking it down costs too much health, it isn't worth it.
