How to play it

✓

His R traps you

His ult knocks you up and locks you in, dumping damage before you hit the ground: save your E to escape it.

✓

Hold E post-6

Once he reaches level 6, don't waste your E: keep it ready for when he uses his R.

✓

Only fight ahead

Otherwise he's a tanky stat-stick: only commit if you're ahead, or kill his teammate instead of him.

✕

Never blow your E to engage once he's level 6: hold it for his R, or you have no way out of the knock-up.
