How to play it

✓ DO

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.

✕ DON'T

⛔

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.
