How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his Q spam

His Q is a strong spammable poke — with passive stacks and PTA up, eating too many early is very punishing, so don't let him land the trade.

All-in once you outscale

Survive to level 5-7 even and you outscale him hard — all-in when you have space to work with and you're even HP.

Walk up on long-range Q

The long-range Q is on a big cooldown — when he uses it, walk up and take space while it's down.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade into his E — wait for it to drop before you commit.
