How to play it
DO
Bait his E
Bait out his E (Soul Unbound) — it's his engage and his escape, so once it's down that's your window to trade.
Just hit Q
With the lethality build your whole plan is to land your Q — once his E is baited, all-in and it's so winnable.
Trade after his W
Take short poke trades once his W (Spirit Cleave) shield is spent — that shield is what wins his trades.
DON'T
Never commit your all-in before you've baited his E — Soul Unbound lets him dash back out and reset the trade.
