How to play it

✓

Block his ult

Break his R's line of sight with minions, towers, or jungle camps to shut it down.

✓

Ult his dash at 6

At 6, save your R to catch him out of his dash: that's your free solo kill.

✓

Trade at 3

From level 3, trade before his passive shield is up or bait it out first, and poke with Q since it outranges his auto.

Never waste your R on a random trade: save it to catch him out of his dash for a free kill.
