How to play it

Dodge his Q
Dodge his axes: a landed Q slow lets him run you down 100-0 at any time, just like Darius.
Kite then all-in
Counter an axe with W, Q out while your E slows him, and repeat until he's low enough to all-in.
His W flips fights
Even a fight you're winning can flip: his W shield/buff swings it fast, so don't over-commit.
Never take an extended trade of any sort: he out-sustains, out-damages and out-stats you.
