How to play it

✓

Dodge his W

His Twisted Advance (W) roots you for his combo: don't get caught by it.

✓

Punish his Q

All-in when he wastes Q (Bramble Smash) to farm or poke: he's helpless without it.

✓

Survive early

Play the early safe and let Grasp win the lane: you outscale him comfortably.

✕

Never dive his all-in while his Q is up: wait for him to waste it first.
