How to play it

Lead with W
Don't save your W for a "perfect moment" later in a trade: that just gets you stunned at the start. Use it first thing (don't overlap it with passive) and disengage before he can land his.
Win level 1
You should win the level-1 trade decently hard with empowered Qs: don't let him stack rage for free as he walks in.
Hold your E
Get the dragthrough without E'ing so you keep it to disengage after your 3 empowered Qs: or to chase him down only if he's clearly dying.
Never save your W for a "perfect moment" in a trade: you'll get stunned at the start; lead with it and keep trades short until he's killable.
