How to play it

✓ DO

Don't hug minions

Never stand near minions — his Overload chains through them and cooks you; without Ring or Ignite you can't even kill him.

All-in on Phase Rush CD

When his Phase Rush is down and he's around 60% HP, that's your only real all-in timer — otherwise he's insanely hard to kill.

Ult-E combo trick

If you ult-E him he ults away before E2 lands — hit E only once he's already channeling his ult to keep the follow-up timer.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never take Doran's Shield here — it's unplayable; without Ring or Ignite you'll never have the damage to kill him.
