How to play it

✓

Deny his 3 stacks

His tongue skillshot is his only real damage: don't let it stack you to 3, because that's the only way he can stun or Devour you.

✓

Bonk him on Grasp

Just walk up and Q him whenever Grasp is ready: he lacks the damage to punish it.

✓

Hold Q for his W

If you're chasing him, hold your Q for his W (his ground-teleport channel): you can silence him out of it, which is terrible for him.

✕

Never fight near his tower while he's stacked on you: he'll Devour and kidnap you under it.
