How to play it

✓ DO

Bait his cage

Bait his E cage before you all-in — its 20s early cooldown is longer than your W and E, so you can wait it out.

All-in early

He's weak before his first item — get a freeze, chunk him down, then all-in.

Watch half HP

Once he hits 6, respect his burst around half HP — above that it's no big deal.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Don't panic inside his cage — you have plenty of room to dodge around, and it's down far more than it's up.
