How to play it

✓

Never get hit by E

His E is fast and low-cooldown: get clipped and his full combo lands, dodge it and you can flash straight on top of him.

✓

Punish him on the wave

When he's clearing the wave: or he's flashless and you aren't, jump him; poke E onto a minion first, then all-in.

✓

Trade back on his W

He'll W the wave twice to clear it: don't stand in it, and trade onto him while he's committed to farming.

✕

Never sit in his Q-into-ult poke without W or E ready, or you're cooked until you recall.
