How to play it

✓

Dodge his E

His E is his engage: dodge it and you win the trade, get rooted and his combo bursts you down.

✓

All-in after dodging E

Any time you dodge his E, all-in around 60% HP with ignite up: he's killable through his ult if he skipped MR.

✓

Read his level 1

Check whether he started Q or E: on Q keep your range or you get poked hard, on E play close and trade because you win it if you dodge the E.

✕

Never recall within range of his W: it will cancel your base.
