How to play it
DO
Don't get pulled in
Death's Grasp is his kill set-up — avoid the pull at all cost; if caught, Wither him instantly and run.
Farm at your turret
He auto-shoves with Obliterate and his passive — dodge them, let him push, and farm safely near tower.
Rush grievous wounds
His passive heals a ton — don't fight until you have anti-heal, get Executioner's early.
DON'T
Never engage him after 6 once he has Sheen — he kills you unless you're perfectly stacked.
