How to play it

Dodge the barrel chain
His E barrels chain into heavy poke: walk in weird patterns when you engage so the chain never connects.
Punish empty barrels
Bait a barrel then all-in: with no keg up to defend himself, that's your kill.
Play for 4 graves
Avoid his Q and barrel poke early and set up 4 graves with E before you commit.
Never sit still inside his barrel range: that's how he lands a full chain and takes the trade.
