How to play it

✓

W his shuriken

Use W on his Thundering Shuriken: it's the most damage in his kit, so block it whenever he throws.

✓

Punish his mistakes

You can't kill him outright: only punish when he takes tower shots or heavy minion aggro, then scale to Stridebreaker and outscale him.

✓

Farm under tower

It's a farm lane: focus on CSing under tower without getting dove by him or his jungler, since his R all-in is strong.

✕

Never try to fight him straight up: there's no killing him unless he misplays into tower shots or minion aggro.
