How to play it

His Windwall (W)
Windwall blocks your Q and ult: and he can wall after your Q lands to delete the dagger. Never commit into it.
Just farm
Let him push and farm safe. Between his shield and wall you only get ~4–5s to land a Q: poking costs 3 Qs, not worth it.
Under tower
He denies cannons with windwall when you Q them: auto-attack cannons to secure them instead.
Never all-in while his passive shield or his windwall is up: you get nothing off it and die.
