How to play it

✓ DO

Save E for his ult

After 6, never waste your E — while Undying Rage is up he can't die and will run you down unless you can pull him back.

Win short trades

Whenever he autos, auto + W him back, and if he E's away pull him in and run him down — you stat-check him as long as you had more HP going into the all-in.

Respect level 1

He's stronger than you at level 1 — respect it, then take over once the lane settles into short trades.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never waste your E against him — without it he'll run you down under Undying Rage.
