How to play it

✓

W his E stun

Use W on his E (Sky Splitter) stun to block it: that stun is what enables his all-in, so time your W for it.

✓

Short-trade on spikes

Q-E and run while W-ing his stun; once you have Ironspike Whip or Stridebreaker short trades become easy.

✓

Respect his dive

Don't drop low: his R disables your turret and his dive with the jungler is lethal; if R is active, ghost and kite it out.

✕

Never let your HP drop low: his turret-disabling R plus a jungler makes his dive lethal.
