How to play it

Dodge his Q
Avoid his Q poke in lane, then dodge his Q again as you dive: sidestep it and you win the trade at any point of the lane.
Dodge the fear
When you engage, pass through him: Shunpo to his far side to dodge his fear.
You win every trade
You win trades at any point of the lane: once his Q and fear miss, engage and take the fight.
Never walk into his Q poke for free: eating it is the only thing that turns this easy lane sour.
