How to play it

✓

Answer his R

From level 3+, save your Q for when he R's you away so you can dash back in: his R is the key cooldown.

✓

Fight before 7

Look for trades before level 7: you won't outdamage him once he spikes, so pressure him early.

✓

W his knockup

Use Defiant Dance on his Q knockup to blunt the burst in a trade.

✕

Don't blow your Q early: you need it for when he R's you away.
