How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his ult

Don't get caught by his ult, especially in AoE or under his turret — it's his one real kill threat.

You out-trade him

Don't stand still auto-trading or facetank his Q off cooldown — keep moving and you just win the lane.

Chip his shield

Keep his passive shield knocked down whenever you can — it's very important, same as other tanks.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never stand still trading autos or facetank his Q off cooldown — keep moving and it stays easy.
