How to play it

✓

Block his Q

Only let him Q you when your passive or W is up: otherwise stand barely outside its range.

✓

Level 2 spike

Push for level 2 first and go in with your taunt: that's your cleanest all-in.

✓

Pop his barrel

On a 1-HP barrel, taunt in and hit the barrel first while he's W'ing, trade with W, then walk out.

✕

Never all-in through a live barrel: pop it first, then trade.
