How to play it

✓

Don't sit in Defile

His Defile grinds you down over time, so keep trades short and never linger in the aura.

✓

Fight after level 2

Trade with W from level 2 on: you win the 1v1 unless he's a full item ahead.

✓

Zhonya's for his ult

Pick up a Zhonya's later so you can survive his Requiem in fights.

✕

Never grind out a long, extended trade: his damage over time beats you there.
