How to play it

Dodge his W
Don't ever let him W you: Abyssal Dive is how he catches and kills you.
Punish missed Q
He's weak if he can't land his Qs: look for fast trades, and he's easy to control in fights.
W max vs Heartsteel
If he goes Heartsteel, you can go W max, take Heartsteel yourself and trade the entire game.
Once he has Dusk & Dawn, never trade with him melee.
