How to play it

Watch his E dash
His E only jumps to a soldier and can carry him (plus Flash) into his 250-range ult: but with no soldiers stored he has no escape.
Ult his dash-in
If he E's toward you without Q up, your ult is a guaranteed stun; even with Q you force out his Q or Flash and stay safer.
Kite his soldiers
His soldiers are his only DPS at 500 range and weaker than yours: kite out of them, and once he commits both he can only reposition them with Q.
Never trade while standing in his soldiers: that's the only place his DPS out-damages yours.
