How to play it

✓

Dodge his R

Respect his R all-in: you can dodge it with Deceive or Hallucinate if you see it coming.

✓

Aggressive early

You can play aggressive early: you're the stronger duelist before his items.

✓

Comet Q chunks

If he takes Comet his Q pokes hard, so respect it; if he takes Grasp you're safe.

Never drop boxes on top of him: his E and W break them instantly.
