How to play it

Avoid his 3rd hit
His third auto-attack (Hyper) grants movement speed and big damage: don't let him land it in a trade.
W-spam him early
He's very squishy as mini Gnar, so W and Grasp-spam him early to grind him down.
His level-6 dive
After 6 he may ult you toward your tower: cast your R as he ults so you aren't pushed under it.
Never keep trading into his third auto: that Hyper hit hands him the speed and damage to win the fight.
