How to play it

✓

Block his charged E

His full-charge E is his big trade: hide behind minions, and save your W to block it or his R explosion.

✓

Run him down on E

Land your E stun and run him down: he loses long trades, so drag every fight out once you catch him.

✓

R as he leaves pool

Post-6 he'll Sanguine Pool eventually: hold your R for the moment he comes back out of it.

Waste your W on his Q: hold it for his charged E or his R explosion.
