How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

Never let his Q land when he's low: it heals him a percentage of missing HP like Darius Q; hide behind minions to avoid it.

✓

You outscale

Poke sweetspot Q's on the health-based tank and you outscale him: much earlier if he builds Heartsteel.

✓

Save a dash for W

Space and tank his damage with W while Q'ing around, but always keep one dash to dodge his W knockup.

✕

Never take extended trades: his autos alone win any drawn-out exchange.
