How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

Watch where he aims his Q: with Q-max movespeed and early boots you can almost always sidestep it, and if he does land the first Q, W immediately.

✓

Short Q-E trades

Q-E in, cancel the spin early, auto, then escape on Stormraider's Surge: keep every trade short and you win the exchange.

✓

Crash for level 4

Push the first two waves with E for a two-wave crash so you can farm safely into level 4.

✕

Never charge straight at him after level 4: he'll stun and kite you; use your movespeed to trade short instead.
