How to play it

✓

Respect Flash W

His W can Flash on top of you to root: the setup for his jungler, so don't step up carelessly.

✓

Push and get ahead

Shove the wave: he doesn't need gold, so push to proxy, invade or gank while you get yourself ahead.

✓

Block his poke

Block most of his Q poke with your W, and ignore his non-existent E damage unless he's AP.

✕

Never overstep the wave: he'll set up a gank for his jungler the moment you do.
