How to play it

✓

Dodge his spear

Dodge his W spear: sidestep the poke and he struggles to gank or open on you.

✓

Keep your dash

Don't get baited into dashing out on his third auto: the knock-up cancels your dash.

✓

Respect his R

While his R is active, don't waste damage on him unless you're inside its radius: Crescent Guard blocks hits from outside.

✕

Never take an extended slapfight with him: that's exactly where he wins.
