How to play it

Watch for his hidden ult
He frequently casts his ult during his Q leap to hide the animation: it hits hard and grants a big shield, so back off if you're already low.
Punish his E cooldown
He's most vulnerable when his E is down: that's your window to commit to a trade.
Avoid the double-bite
If he lands his W bite on you while the proc is already active, it deals bonus damage and heals him: don't let him land it twice.
Never stay at low HP near your tower once he hits 6: his ult is a towerdive tool, so concede the turret instead of contesting it.
