How to play it

Don't get run down
With your combo on cooldown he sticks to you and statchecks with Lethal Tempo: never fight without your rotation up.
Freeze and rotate
Freeze and play around his cooldowns: land two full rotations and you win the all-in.
Steelcaps here
Tabis/Plated Steelcaps are better into him than into Yone because he deals less magic damage.
Never dump your combo and cooldowns early: with your rotation down he simply runs you down with Lethal Tempo.
