How to play it

Block his Q
He opens every trade with Q (Chomp): block it with your passive shield or W, then trade back.
Trade then zone
Win early short trades, then zone him off the wave to hit level 2 first and go for the classic all-in.
Short trades only
Use your extra range for short trades and kite backwards between autos: don't let him extend it into a full level-1 all-in.
Never taunt first unless you're up a level or the HP gap is big: otherwise his R healing wins the fight.
