How to play it

✓

Avoid his ult

Don't get caught by his R: it applies his W marks to you and guarantees a huge WQ (or full R-E-WQ) burst combo.

✓

Dodge one ability

Dodging even a single ability breaks his all-in: his W stacks refund his cooldowns when popped, so denying one hit wrecks the combo.

✓

Block with your W

Farm safely from bushes and use your W to block his E and Q while he has W marks on you.

✕

Never let his R land: the marks plus his stacked W set up a guaranteed burst combo.
