How to play it

✓

Cancel his R

His R only reaches 700 units: if he walks in to cast it, ult back to cancel it or make him eat your R while he's stuck.

✓

Win the kite

With Stormraider's Surge you win short trades by kiting away his voidlings; with Conqueror you win extended ones, as long as you don't die to his ult.

✓

Pop his passive

Chip his ~20-30s shield passive with any spell before you commit to a real trade.

✕

Never get caught in his R suppression with no ult up to cancel it: that's what loses you the extended trade.
