How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

Dodging his Q is everything: most of his power budget is in it, so respect it above all.

✓

Max W to block

Maximize your W to block his E or his auto when he has Q stacks on you.

✓

Respect his burst

He has insane burst and all-in with very short cooldowns: he's an early-game snowball assassin, so don't get caught.

✕

Never eat his Q: most of his power budget is in it, and he snowballs off the burst.
