How to play it

Dodge his Q blast
His Q blasts a second time: if he fires it point-blank, jump behind him with your E to dodge the return.
Engage on cooldown
Jump him when he burns his W or E: those are your best openings to commit.
Tankier than he looks
His E passive stacks give him armour and let him fire three shells fast, so he brawls harder than expected.
Never brawl him solo without a lead or a teammate: his damage and E-stack bulk win even fights.
