How to play it

✓

Q out of his R

Save your Q for his R: keep a dash target nearby so you can Q away from Grim Deliverance.

✓

Short trades only

Only take short trades and disengage: never let him ramp up to his full stacks.

✓

Save your W

Hold Defiant Dance for his W, his Q knock-up, or his ult when you can't escape.

✕

Never let him reach his full stacks: trade short and disengage instead of committing.
