How to play it

✓ DO

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.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never all-in while his passive shield or his windwall is up — you get nothing off it and die.
