How to play it

✓ DO

His early all-in

Respect his all-in before Bramble Vest — that's the only window where he has real power on you.

After Bramble Vest

Once Bramble Vest is up he's all yours — run him down, he cannot win the 1v1.

Be patient early

He has decent power until your armor comes online, so farm safely and don't feed his early spike.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never hand him a free early kill before Bramble Vest — that's the only window he can beat you in.
