How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his W stun

When he Ws you, E onto a dagger at max range lined up straight with you to avoid the stun — or Flash-E out if no dagger is lined up.

Your solo-kill

With Electrocute + Ignite you can try to solo-kill him — just respect his E and W first.

His E eats daggers

Don't Q him straight in the face while his E is up — it makes your dagger disappear.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never Q him head-on while his E is up — you lose the dagger you need to reset.
