How to play it

✓

Kite his E

If he tries to start E and trade in, use your range and kite well: you win the trade, then replace the blade before his E is back.

✓

Win the first trade

The first trade is the most important: win it, play for level 2 first, and Taunt in.

✓

Block his Q

The trade is even easier if he starts Q, since your W or passive shield blocks the damage.

✕

Never trade with your blade down: replace it before his E comes back up.
